I'm not sure who I want to win as I'm pretty apathetic towards both teams. I guess I lean Bengals simply because they've never won one.

If you witness Yellowstone Falls you know.
Yep..I don't know if you have done it, but in 2011 we did the Uncle Tom trail down into the canyon to that platform facing the falls..that was freaking spectacular, it was full snowmelt time and the river was just a raging torrent dropping over...it gives me chills just remembering that

Buddy of mine and I walked out to overlook during full moon. You could see the falls in background. Was great until the Park Ranger asked us wth we were doing, and said it was illegal to be out there after dark.

Young and dumb.
 
You're in for a treat.
I know...I have never been let down, and every National Park I have been to has exceeded my expectations..which is hard to do since I do so much research before I go and pretty much know what to expect.

I think some people sometimes have underwhelming experiences because they don't really do any research.

I know Glacier is going to blow my mind, I just wish that I had gotten to visit before my health went to 💩. The Highline trail is beyond my ability now...which makes me sad.
 
We never did a 4WD trip, anywhere. I always imagined that if did it would be amazing.
Google or do a Youtube search "Polaris Adventures Silverton Colorado"...thank me later.

You can rent 2 or 4 person GPS enabled side by sides, and drive hundreds of miles on super high altitude trails all over the San Juans.

We are going to try to do that in a couple of years with our kids and grandkids.
 
No one was hurt, other than maybe my feelings because I was so scared.

My wife and I were hiking to St Mary Falls, typical trail with a lot of bends. As we were approaching one we heard someone yelling at us but couldn’t tell what they were saying.
They were coming from the opposite direction and were up higher so they could see us.

They kept yelling and I finally thought they said “bear behind you” so we started walking faster. Then they got really loud and said “No, turn around, a bear is coming toward you.” Just before turning I saw the grizz on the trail.

You’re not supposed to panic but I was probably pretty close. We walked as fast as we could without running. But my wife can’t walk real fast so that didn’t help my mental state.

We both got our bear spray out and were to spray if needed. I kept looking back but couldn’t see him because of the bends. I was sure that sucker was taking the shortcut through the brush to us.

The worst part was probably when after a bit I yelled to the other group and ask where he was. They said “he’s right behind you.”
Thankfully he wasn’t interested in us and eventually went another direction.

We all met back at the trailhead and found out there were others there watching it all and waiting til he was gone before they started.

They said he was about 50 feet from us a good bit of the time. I don’t think he was that close or I would’ve seen him when looking back.

I no longer like hiking in bear country without other people around.
Yep...that's about how my nightmare scenario goes when walking around out there in Grizzly country.
