I Brake for Bears

Yesterday, while driving between Plains and Elmo, Montana, we came up over a hill and as we crested the hill, saw a brown bear about 100 feet ahead, coming out into the roadway. I braked fairly hard but was not going to be able to stop. The bear moved over into the oncoming lane and, fortunately, we missed the bear completely. The speed limit is 70 mph and 60 mph for trucks. I was going about 55 mph.

MA is convinced that it was a small grizzly bear since the grizzly is indigenous to Montana.
