We survived the trip to Yellowstone national park, didn't get eaten by bears. With how much they trumped up the bears you'd think you would at least see a grizzly. But we did see three black bears. You could tell there was a bear by the road by the number of Chinese tourists pulled off the road trying to take pictures of it as close as they dare get. It's a good thing the bears were so happy eating their berries or whatever.
The tourists also caused traffic jams for the buffalo, which appear more tame than domestic cattle usually are. Theyll walk right by you, sleep right outside your tent without concern for you crawling in or out. The neighbor described it as eerie sleeping next to one, listening to it snore. Of course we only had bulls in the campground, out of rutting season. They just liked to hang out by the fires, probably because the smoke drives the mosquitoes away. The cows are probably super protective of their calves, but they never came near campgrounds or roads. The fucking bulls just saunter down the roadway at 1/2kph and cause traffic jams.
We were warned about the elk trying to steal food from our tables as we ate, so we never ate at the campsite. But the elk stayed in the other campsite down the road. They were also sleeping outside peoples tents and stuff whenever we passed them.
It's all very pretty country. Very steamy. A lot of attractions were almost unreachable because of the sheer volume of tourists parked in them, so a couple times we parked off the highway and walked. Old faithful I found was not the most interesting geyser in it's area let alone the whole park. Castle geyser and... One of the others on that same trail, were much more energetic and had more interesting surrounding features. And less crowds. We didn't arrive in time to see the gargantuan one go off. But it had a neat pool.
