This big plain,
Treadwell called "The Sanctuary."

:10:16
Here he would spend
the early summer months

:10:18
before moving along
some 35 miles

:10:21
to this densely overgrown area
:10:24
which he called
"The Grizzly Maze"

:10:26
where he would observe
the late summer salmon run.

:10:31
It was here that Fulton
would pick him up in the fall.

:10:38
On October 6 last year,
this is the spot here at Kaflia Lake

:10:41
where I pulled in
to pick up Tim and Amie.

:10:45
Typical day out here.
Rain, foggy, a lot of wind.

:10:51
It was kinda strange.
Didn't see him, didn't hear anything.

:10:54
No gear on the beach
or anything.

:10:57
I tied up, and I started
yelling a little bit.

:10:59
"Tim! Amie!" And no answer.
:11:03
I caught a little tiny bit
of movement up on the hill,

:11:07
so I'm like, it was windy, maybe they
just couldn't hear me or something.

:11:10
So I decided I'd go up
in the camp,

:11:14
and see what was going on.
:11:16
And headed off
up through the alders.

:11:19
It's kind of a thick trail
up into camp there.

:11:24
Got about three-quarters
of the way up the hill,

:11:26
and something just didn't feel right at all,
something seemed strange.

:11:31
I'm yelling and no answer.
So I turned around

:11:35
and started coming back down the trail
at a pretty good clip, I guess.

:11:38
I was kinda... trottin' along.
:11:41
And as I got in the thickest
part of the alders right here,

:11:45
as I got near the airplane,
I just happened to turn around.

:11:48
And I turned around
and looked and...

:11:54
Pretty nasty-Iooking bear
that I had seen here before

:11:58
is just sneaking slow,
with his head down.
