Touching grass... and berries. This mountain top had so many wild raspberries and blueberries.

Where is this? Those raspberry and blueberry plants look different then the ones local to me.
The better it gets, the better it gets!!!
Do you bring Bear spray with you in case you find a surprise on the other side of the bush?
Nope. I grew up playing in the woods. Never once saw a bear in the woods. If I did, I'd probably shiy my pants, then scream at it like I was a crazy person with my arms above my head to make me seem huge.
Lol
I used to backpack in Desolation Wilderness around Lake Tahoe, let's estimate I spent 20 days there over my lifetime. And I saw a bear just once, at a distance, and he wasn't interested in me.
OTOH in Yellowstone in the 1970s I saw black bears many times, just walking on the roadside or wherever.
It entirely depends on which 'woods' you are in.
I miss those wineberries. They were everywhere where I grew up in SE PA. If you happen upon them toward the end of the fruit being ripe they taste a little boozey (hence the name).
