Tragic story ... but you have to know it is possible when you hike where wild grizzlies live.
Kind of a funny story about that pic of the grizzlies above: we were heading out of the park when we saw a big group of cars pulled off the road next to a meadowy valley. We see all these people outside of there vehicles and kind of creeping down the hill into pointing off into the distance. We get out of our Tahoe to see what the hubub was and, of course, they were pointing at the bears. So as I and a few other guys were trying to get pictures, we creeped even further down the hill until we were about 50 yards from the road. About that time a lady park ranger(attractive too) shows up and started hollering at everyone to get back up to the road. We all complied and as I was passing her, because i wasn't sure, I asked what kind of bears they were. "She said it's a gizzly...wait did you say bears? how many were down there?" I held up three fingers. Her eyes got big and she says " oh my god..." then she yelled "everyone... back in your vehicles!!! You can't stand on the road any more!"

I asked what was wrong and she basically said that was because one of the bears was a female in heat and the other two were probably males looking to hook up. Apparently, a VERY dangerous situation... especially for knuckleheads like me who were down the hill taking pictures.

Oh and love the shirt
You're welcome my friend! Definitely beautiful country up in that area. I would consider moving up there if not for all of the snow in the winter.

As for the shirt, that was one of two Cowboys shirts I wore on this trip. A fan has to represent!

We flew into Denver on Saturday, June 25th and came back home on Friday, July 1st. It was a lot of driving, but it wasn't too bad. We stayed in South Dakota for 3 nights, Wyoming (near Yellowstone) for two nights and Colorado one night.

Hell, the drive through Yellowstone park alone was over 200 miles. It's a BIG park.
