Leaving for Island Park Idaho/Yellowstone for a week. -

[The Dude]

You won't have The Dude to kick around for about a week, but I'll be back with some nature photos. You think you guys can manage without me for a week?

 

[The Hunter]

Seeya 'round. Take plenty of pictures. I've always wanted to see Yellowstone since I was a boy. Well, I wanted to see every state park. To this day, I haven't seen a single one.

 

[Bgheff]

I like your style, Dude. Have fun.

 

[Bob's Fries]

Stay out of the geysers.

 

[Grand Number of Pounds]

Have fun. I look forward to seeing your pictures since your pictures of Disneyland and California were cool.

 

[Saney]

Yellowstone? Never heard of it. Is that some kind of geology thing?

 

[Grand Number of Pounds]

Huh? What is that site? It's really confusing.

Forget you saw it. Don't speak of it, don't even think about it. They may already be tracking you..

I went to Yellowstone a long time ago. Definitely visit as many geysers and hot springs as you can. Lower falls is worth the walk. But don't expect to see any large wildlife that isn't elk (the squirrels are more likely to steal your food then bears are).

I've been to Yellowstone several times. This is my second trip with my wife. Last time was in 2006 or 2007 and I came dangerously close to a black bear while trying to get a photo of it.

Brother, if the Hulkster ever came face to face with a bear, the Hulkster would utilize the power of Hulkamania to stop that bear right in its tracks. The big boot followed by a leg drop would be enough to allow the Hulkster to cover for the three count.

Yeah...it's only been around for like 5 or 6 years. Weird, huh?

Anyway, have fun and post your pictures.

 

[The Dude]

I'm kind of pissed right now. None of my inlaws are willing to see anything, so I'm not getting many shots. If it's not immediately right off the side of the road they can't be arsed to see it. I tried to get them to walk down the path to see the Norris Geyser Basin and they're like "a quarter of a mile to see some of the most incredible natural phenomenon in the world? Fuck that shit, too damn far!"

Seriously, who travels hundreds of miles to see one of the most unique areas in the world and won't even walk a quarter mile to actually see something?

We will abide, Dude, but we will yearn for your wisdom.

 

[José Mourinho]

Have fun.

Brother, one person who would do that is living in Ruckersville

I've only been to Jellystone Park, and it was okay. Not a great place if you want to sit quietly and have a picnic, though. Went with my dad to Yellowstone once, but it was closed for some reason.

Too many bears?

 

[Grand Number of Pounds]

When I was a kid my family used to camp at Jellystone (yes, there is a Hanna-Barbera Yogi Bear-themed campground chain in certain parts of the US). We didn't have our pop-up camper then so we did tent camping, first at a place with electrical and gas hookup and then primitive camping (back in the hills).

I didn't see any bears the time I was there, but we gave some food to a stray cat.

I'm not too surprised. There is a Flintstone park in South Dakota I went to once. My older sister got wicked bad food poisoning from the food she ate the evening we arrived, so I don't think we saw everything. Here's a slideshow of the park, it's still open apparently. I think the only thing they didn't show was the train that circles the park.

Anyways, that really sucks about your in-laws. It's not like there are loads of geyser's all over the world. I can't believe they're unwilling to walk a little.
