Forgive my silence. I have been back in the Canadian wilderness for two and a half weeks and have been overwhelmed. Over the winter a grizzly bear dug up the septic tank rendering the plumbing unusable, a northern flicker made a nest in the side of the house, and there has been a whole parade of bears making their way through the yard, driving Katya, my dog, to new levels of neurosis.
Hi Julius - I have been talking about Grizzly Bear Ranch for years now - I think since I saw the ranch on the Ben Fogal docu-series. It is 100% on my bucket list to visit the GBR and would love to know your costs at present. My advantage/disadvantage is that I live in a small bushveld town in South Africa called Hoedspruit - I live in a wildlife Estate that allows for plains game to roam freely (plus the odd leopard!) but no Ellies, rhino or lion! It is a magical part of the world and my husband thinks I'm crazy to want to fly to the other end of the world to see bears!! I was thinking if you show me yours.... I will show you mine!!! Hahaha.... Jokes aside, I would like to know your current prices, so I can check our horrific rate of exchange and try to plan further! Thanks, Claire
Well now no matter what. The guests will get to see the bears without even having to hike….but the stressors. Life in the woods. 🤦🏽♀️ Glad you’re home!!!
Hi Julius, I've enjoyed ( - is that the right word?) your columns, which make for deeply moving reading. Glad you are now back at the Lodge for some R&R, although it doesn't sound as though you have had much of that in practice! Such a beautiful spot though and we are very much looking forward to visiting later this year.
