      They’re huge and dumb. They can trample, and did i mention how huge they are? The first time I saw one up close it was a surprise to the both of us. About shat myself.

      Yup. Just went to Yellowstone and that was the one I was most worried about as far as animals go. I’m just worried they will come out of nowhere and mow you down.

        I been Yellowstone three times, never even thought about them. Especially never worried about them. But Bison those guys are just waiting to mess you up.

          It’s crazy how close people were getting to the bison. It’s a giant wild animal… enjoy your Darwin Award, I guess.

            They are literally a aggressive animal that will and does kill people. But they look so timid and why they sell shirts and bumper stickers that say Don’t pet the fluffy cows.

            For me I think they remember what we did to them and that is why they fucking hate us. I seen them literally sit in the middle ot the road and glare at the drivers.

            Have you gone to the Bison museum in West Yellowstone?

              Didn’t go there even though we stayed in West Yellowstone, mostly because we were completely wiped out after a 9-hour day at the park. Did we miss out.

                That rookie numbers got to pump the numbers up. We like to stay a week at a time. Stil can’t do everything. And I have been.three years in a row. Was supposed to go this year but miss out.

                The view from the top of Purple Mountain. Climb that and almost wiped out my boys in 2023.

                  That’s pretty! I definitely want to stay for longer next time. This year we did Glacier and Yellowstone in the same vacation, it was great but could be extended or split into two trips.

                    It was a beautiful scence. But it took us all damn day to climb that Mountain. It was supposed to be 3 miles, but man it felt much longer.

                    Edit: one cool thing is at the top you write your name on a sheet to prove you made it.
