HELEN, Ga. (AP) - A camping trip to Low Gap Camp Grounds turned into a harrowing experience for Chris Everhart and his three sons when they tangled with a 300-pound black bear.

Only 300 pounds? Wouldn't that be more like a bear cub?

It was the log the father through at the bear, not the shovel the kid through at it.

So were they defending themselves or their cooler?

Sounds like they would been better off just letting the bear have the cooler but that wouldn't of made as intresting of story.

I'd guess there was beer in the cooler and well, you know.

I didn't even think about that I guess the guy was in the right! Never try and steal a Marines beer.
