This is Timothy Treadwell's
and Amie Huguenard's route
1:31:08
to the site of their death.
1:31:11
There was a certain absurdity
in their end.
1:31:15
As usual, the expedition was over
by the end of September,
1:31:19
and both had returned to Kodiak
on their way back to California.
1:31:25
Treadwell writes in his diary
that at the airport
1:31:28
he had an altercation
with an obese airline agent
1:31:32
over the validity of his ticket.
1:31:35
"How much I hate
the people's world, " he writes.
1:31:38
And disgusted,
he decides right then
1:31:40
to return to this spot
and his bears.
1:31:46
Once back in the Grizzly Maze,
Amie had mixed feelings.
1:31:50
She was afraid of the bears
1:31:52
and had a deadline to return
for a new job
1:31:55
and spoke openly
about leaving him for good.
1:31:59
According to one of the last entries
in Treadwell's diary,
1:32:03
Amie called him hell-bent
on destruction.
1:32:08
And yet, inexplicably, she remained
with him here in the Maze.
1:32:20
Normally Treadwell would not
be here this late in the year.
1:32:24
And upon their return,
1:32:26
he discovered that many of his bear friends
had gone into hibernation.
1:32:31
And scary,
unknown and wilder bears
1:32:34
from the interior had moved in.
1:32:39
This is the spot where
they set up their last camp.
1:32:52
Let me tell you.
1:32:54
Honestly, camping in grizzly country
is dangerous.
1:32:59
People who camp in grizzly country
should camp out in the open
