On Wednesday, I noted the continuing saga of dangerous rest areas across the country. Today? More danger, but this time at the national parks.
From Yellowstone: After the Teddy Roosevelt National Park warnings about bison, this situation strikes me as one that is quickly going to go bad.Apparently, we decided the best thing to do in this situation was to get closer (in our defense, there were bison all over this path. They were impossible to avoid). Of course, Paul bending over to take a picture up close might not have been entirely necessary…From Little Bighorn: I assume that this means there are rattlesnakes on the trail.This pretty much confirmed the assumptions about the rattlesnake situation (though I somewhat suspect they just don’t want you to go wandering off, and threatening you with snakes is a good way to do it. At least, it was definitely going to discourage me).Grand Teton: Bear warning? I was far more concerned with the misspelling on the written addition to the sign.
Ah, yikes! I can’t believe they got THAT close! When we were in Yellowstone we got up really, really early (woo east coast time) and we had to stop our car because bison were crossing from the hills into a valley. We saw lots of babies, and they all came VERY close to our vehicle! It was such a cool experience! They are so unreal.
Were the babies still at the cute, light brown stage? I remember years ago seeing them jumping up and down at Custer State Park – they were just full of life and absolutely adorable! By the time we saw them this summer, they were pretty old and serious.
Yes!! Honestly they’re one of the most adorable baby animals I’ve ever seen! We watched them jump and play and fall asleep. I was in tears from the cuteness lol!
That is really close.
Over the years I have noted a continuing increase in the amount of signage in the parks and public places designed to keep us and the environment safe/protected. I often wonder if the sheer amount of warnings/signage has caused people to not take them seriously, or even see them.
Great post. Thank you. 🐞

I never thought about that, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the major amount of signage just leads to everyone ignoring it.
