Did my predictions come true? (Prompt #7, whole book)

Prompt #7

My predictions from Prompt #6 was that Katz and Bryson would come into contact with a bear sometime on their trip and they would not complete the Appalachian Trail. After Part 1, Katz and Bryon completely put their trip on hold. When I started reading this book, I thought they were planning to do the whole trail at one time. Therefore, I was surprised that they just put their journey on hold. Also, they skipped part of the trail from Gatlinburg to Roanoke. They were tired and sick of walking and just decided to not do that part of the trail. Even if later in the book they go back and re walk that sliver, I will not consider it what I thought to be finishing the trail because I was expecting Bryson and Katz to finish it at one time.
My predictions about the bear encounter was somewhat correct. While sleeping, Bryson saw woke up to a noise and saw two pairs of eyes outside of his tent. He threw things at it and yelled at it, but the animal was not scared. It stayed their for a while drinking water. Bryson believe that it was a bear and so do I.
