Jon-Kyle Mohr didn’t anticipate his 50-mile run into Yosemite Valley to finish with an undesirable bear hug, however that’s what he received. (He’s OK, fortunately.) It was after darkish, and Mohr was so near ending his trek—lower than a mile, actually—when he instantly noticed a big form coming towards him out of the nook of his eye. It was a black bear, after which they collided.
Mohr instructed the LA Instances that after he and the bear bumped into one another, Mohr stumbled again, regained his footing, then stood face-to-face with the massive black bear. The bear appeared equally offended by the collision; Mohr had knocked the bear’s rubbish meal proper out of its mouth.
Fortunately, Mohr and a few Good Samaritans knew what to do—get huge and loud. Mohr mentioned he began yelling and “slapping his operating poles on the pavement.” Some individuals tenting close by understood the project; additionally they yelled and banged on pots and pans.
The bear then left, and Mohr received medical assist for the scratches on his shoulder, however declined a precautionary journey to the hospital. Maybe what troubles Mohr most is the sheer outrageousness of such a collision—or, ought to we name it an assault?
“It was only a actually unusual, random collision,” Mohr instructed LA Instances. “If I had rested my toes for 20 seconds longer at any level over the sixteen hours, it wouldn’t have occurred.”
Yosemite has not but launched an official assertion on the incident. We’re glad Mohr walked away startled however principally unhurt.
