Problems with bears and cougars....
Has anyone had any run ins with cougars and/or bears when boondocking? Have you even seen any come near your RV or campsite?

We've seen bears in the distance in the Smokeys, U.P. of Michigan, and Yellowstone. The scariest was the Grizzly in Yellowstone. He was very large and at the top of a large hill in the back country just off the road. We actually drove by a man who was encouraging his 2 children (about 7-9 years old) to climb closer to the bear so he could get a better picture. DH was so angry he yelled out the window that "it is illegal to feed bears, get those kids back in the car." I am not sure if the man understood English but he ignored DH. The children were much smarter than dad because they were crying the whole time that they didn't want to go up the hill.
