Tongass National Forest has a great sense of humor about "bear petting." 😜 Another place to visit on my bucket list. It's 16.7 million acres and is in Southeast near Juneau. I've been to Juneau, just not to the forest and I will NEVER pet a bear!

@hugo @MicheleV_AK Here's what to do, if you are actually attacked by a bear:

If it's brown, get down.
If it's black, fight back.
If it's white, good night.

@proedie we have a good number of black bears around. For the most part they scoot if you surprise them with noise, or as they wife says she "uses her Mommy Voice". I wouldn't want to get up close enough to any bear to test out how they respond in that range, though.

@hugo I wouldn't put it to the test either if I can avoid it. 😅
