Following procedure for when an emergency call is cut off, dispatchers called the number back. Another rider heard the phone ringing, stopped to investigate and spotted the teen off the trail.

"That rider was able to pick up the phone and talk with the police department," Hill said.

One more rider appeared and stayed until emergency workers arrived. That took courage in the darkened forest, knowing a bear had attacked and could again, Hill said.

"It had to be extremely unnerving, if not terrifying," Hill said."



takes nerve to stay   quiet courage   maybe more than i have
It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

Standing guard against a grizzly bear in the middle of the night?

Lost the race, but earned some respect you can't get with a trophy.
"Human existence being an hallucination containing in itself the secondary hallucinations of day and night (the latter an insanitary condition of the atmosphere due to accretions of black air) it ill becomes any man of sense to be concerned at the illusory approach of the supreme hallucination known as death."

This needs to be merged with this one: http://www.armedpolitesociety.com/index.php?topic=13247.0

You're right, C&SD, that is very brave.  I'll bet none of them were armed at all.

I try to use things like this as examples for my Scouts as to what real courage is.  Being brave isn't the absence of fear.  Being afraid is doing what's right even though you might be afraid.
