Why the Drunken Bear?

Bob G., Doug F., Steve C. and Yoey

I thought it would be fun to have a name for our property. While on a trip through Yosemite and the vicinity I passed a bar called "The Drunken Fish". I thought what a fun name that would be since we were located along the Skykomish River. When I got home I discussed the name with Steve and some other friends. People seemed to like it until someone (yeah, you Yoey) suggested...fish doesn't sound "manly". After rethinking, I suggested "The Drunken Bear". That name seemed to satisfy everyone.

By the name, you might think we are always drunk. Well, we are not always inebriated, but we do like to have a good time and when you are sitting around a campfire, you do need something to quench your thirst. This in turn allows you and your friends to loosen up and you hear all kinds of interesting stories and tales. When there is more than one person at the campfire you can almost be assured there will be laughter and good times. I have to admit I have been at the campfire by myself and still had laughter...thinking about events of the past...or the future.

We have also had cowboy poetry read...thank you Bob and we have had a ballad sung...thank you Glenn. Once I read my diary of my first trip to Europe to my fellow travelers, Steve and Yoey, and we relived our European trip with many good memories. I get excited thinking of the good times ahead and hearing more about my friends lives and their history.

Welcome to The Drunken Bear.
