So finally I see for the first time this polar bear that just wandered up to the pad. He didn't actually come up on the mats, but was about 150 yards at his closest. The whole site was on lockdown until he ambled away. About 2 hours of excitement. For the longest time no one could see him because he was on the other side of the rig. Only the bear watcher and a few guys w/ trucks got to watch all his moves. But he finally showed up on the open side of the pad and a bunch of us stood on the top of the stairs of the fire escape of my camp to watch him. It was VERY cool to witness this giant in the wild. He is obviously a well known bear and has been around civilization a few times, cause he was marked w/ the number 9 in spray paint on his back. So his movements are being tracked by a government agency of some kind.
