yellowstone; outlaw country - xm radio

we're set to roadtrip to yellowstone. pulling up shy of sturgis the first night and then continuing to cody.

now is prolly a good time for the camping crowd to cough up their home remedies/divinations/cave scrawling interpretations to insure our safety - given the latest bison and bear attacks.

i'm going to try and get in the mood for the roadtrip by listening to xm63 for the remainder of the week. stay tuned.

    No food left inside/near your tent, close to the door of your camper (on the outside, of course) or whatever!

    (That is so basic that I'm surprised that some people still don't get it.)
  • yerp...my guess is the latest bear attack is a result of prolonged exposure to human food. i mean really, folks throw plastic bags of trash all over the woods. then the bear gets the death sentence for breaking into a fabric tent and finding the source of the food.

    May your trip be both safe and great fun. I'm hoping to do some road-tripping in the great west later this year, meandering around to some of the places I have long wanted to visit.

    P.S. One of the most obnoxious habits has to do with disposable diapers. Coming across a used one on or beside a trail in the Smokies (or anywhere else, for that matter, including the grocery store parking lot) is past disgusting! Please, people, get some couth! (Okay, I know that isn't proper usage, but it says just what I mean.)
  • We humans really crossed the line with bears when we taught them to use Charmin, and even go on TV and brag about it - it's just not right.

    I don't watch a lot of TV, but how could I have missed Charmin bears? I remember Mr. Whipple. Did he admonish bears re squeezing the Charmin?
  • This is the one that disturbs me:

    Seriously, how does that happen?

  • Is that a Chicago bear?
  • Sounds like Yellowstone is REALLY outlaw country right now!
  • Yikes!

    and yucks: "[Accomplice] Welch is [escapee] McCluskey's fiancee and cousin."

    Heard on the news last night that she is a first cousin. Bonnie and Clyde! Do they want to be killed?
