Backpackers Book Club: Night of the Grizzlies

This month we’re reading Night of the Grizzlies by Jack Olsen, a nonfiction account of a tragic night in Glacier National Park that explores the intersection of people, wilderness, and unpredictable danger. The book looks at what happens when human expectations meet a place that doesn’t follow human rules. **Note:** Location for discussion is TBD. This book can be a bit harder to find in print, so most people may need to use an ebook or audiobook version. --- *Night of the Grizzlies* by Jack Olsen **1. The Illusion of Safety** * What responsibility do visitors have versus park authorities? * Can wilderness ever really be “managed”? **2. Confidence in the Outdoors** * Why do humans tend to become more comfortable around risk over time? * How might familiarity with nature shift how people judge danger? * Where do you see overconfidence show up in outdoor settings? **3. The Attraction of Danger** * Is risk part of what makes wilderness meaningful or memorable? * Do stories like this change how you think about nature?

Polar Bear presents Summer Softball week 5

This event will cost $3. Please bring exact change. Just check in with Spider, Andy and/or Shirtless Welcome to Polar Bear CoEd Softball. We've been operating during winter since 2011. We play 3'-6' lob, leading on the release. Bases are 65' and pitchers mound is 46' with Coed cones set at 165' from home plate. The organizers are Steve "Spider", Andy, and "Shirtless" Jeff. We play during winter from December thru March with a field permit on a turf field. Now playing on Sundays spring/summer on dirt grass Being that we have permits for the fields in winter, we collect either a one time fee to cover the season (a discount if you're planning to play almost every week) or a weekly fee (which would cost you more in the long run). You will be added to the play list (first 22 play game 1) once you check in AND pay your fee. If you've paid the one time fee, all you need to do is check in. The fees you pay cover the costs for permits, new Clinchers and Meetup site fee. We ask that everyone to clean up after themselves due to any garbage left on the field can cause us to lose our permit(s). We have a three strike rule policy meaning three RSVP no shows and you will removed from the group. You can have a strike removed by showing up to two consecutive RSVPs. There will be no monopolizing of positions. Once you play a position in your 1st game, then move on and let someone else play that position. "But I only play this position" will NOT be tolerated, this is a pickup which means it's the best place to learn another position. If Spider or Andy can venture into the OF then anyone of you can as well.
