Behind the Scenes – 2021

BTS – Abandoned Project

Adventure Bear was prepared to enter into new territory in 2021 – serving as a Teaching Assistant for his Agent’s Summer School class. Unfortunately, despite several successful video recordings about the Executive Branch (featured here: “Cabinet Departments We Have Loved!”), the launch of A.B.’s Youtube channel has been delayed.

BTS – Undisclosed Location

As the team headed to higher elevations, A.B. realized he was going to need to work a little harder to prepare for more difficult stunts.

This is not as easy as it looks. A.B.’s contract requires a spotter…yet he was left on his own. Agent?!
Triumphant and ready for action!

BTS – Grand Junction, CO – Part 2

With a rare afternoon off-duty, Adventure Bear enjoyed some of the public art displays in downtown Grand Junction. His Agent and local P.A. were delighted to help A.B. indulge his artistic side.

This does not seem like a viable system of transportation for A.B. going forward….

And then, there was another bookstore.

Holiday Bear gets some assistance with a costume change. (This bear has a lot of outfits…)

BTS – On the way to Grand Junction – Ouray, CO

It had been many years since Jay and Carrie stopped in Ouray, CO. Although this was A.B.’s first time in the charming town, he spotted the bookstore within moments of getting out of the car. This is part of why he and his Agent work so well together :)!

BTS – On the way to Silverton – Aztec, NM

There were many cautionary signs at Aztec Ruins National Monument about “low doorways.” Neither A.B. (nor his Agent) had any difficulties with clearance.

BTS – Silverton, CO

Adventure Bear enjoys a well-deserved break and a little al fresco dining in Silverton, CO. The folks at the Golden Block Brewery (product placement opportunities still available!) were very accommodating and treated A.B. just like any other customer.

BTS – Petroglyph National Monument, Albuquerque

Adventure Bear is a little off-kilter in this shot. He is a bit out of practice at hitting his mark having been on hiatus for so long. Perhaps a workout regimen is in order…

BTS – Albuquerque

Introductions can be tricky. Here, A.B.’s Agent brokers a “paw bump” between a Very Special Guest and Adventure Bear. Keep in mind, Adventure Bear does all his own stunts.
