Alaska woman visits outhouse, bear takes a bite out of her backside
Excerpt: In the wilderness, you need to watch your butt sometimes. An Alaska woman camping with her brother near Chilkat Lake over the weekend nearly had to kiss hers goodbye when she encountered a bear in the outhouse, she told a local radio station. “I got in there and sat down on the toilet seat, and something just immediately bit me in the butt,” Shannon Stevens told the Haines, Alaska-based KHNS Wednesday. “I jumped up and screamed.” The commotion got the attention of her brother, Erik Stevens, who said he ran over to the outhouse. (…) The duo ran back to shelter, cleaned up Shannon’s injuries, which were not serious, and hunkered down for the night, the Anchorage Daily News reported. The next morning, they found tracks leading from their campfire to the outhouse, but the bear itself was gone. [Wow, what a crappy thing to have happen! Alan25main]
