  • If you're feeling twisted, check out Death in Yellowstone. It's a great read.

    We read it to our kids when we took them to YNP when they were young. Lots of teachable lessons in that book.

    Big sow black bear spotted. Whole buncha people stopped and running into the woods after her.
    Rangers are here by now but having trouble getting the idiots corralled. We’re walking a little ridge line about 100yds out watching. We can see the Cubs from up there. Idiots and Asian bus tourists can’t and just keep getting closer.

  • There is a geyser known as "Fishing Cone" in Yellowstone. It is immediately adjacent to Yellowstone Lake. In the very early 1900s it was a popular activity to actually catch a trout in the lake and swing it on the line into the Fishing Cone boiling the trout.
