I visited Yellowstone back in the early 80's, and that's probably about right for me, and for good reason. I got there late at night and pulled off on a forest road to sleep and early in the morning I got up to take a pee. I walked about 20 feet from my van and started peeing and then heard a loud "whoosh" noise and then two big billows of what looked like steam blew by me. I'd been looking at my feet while peeing so I watched the billows blow by and then heard another big whoosh noise. My first thought was there must be some kind of little geyser around so I looked to find the source of the steam and saw it wasn't a geyser, it was a giant bull moose not more than 20 from me and it was snorting at me and basically telling me it was about ready to kill me. Pretty much every year we hear about someone getting killed by bears there. I have spent many nights in many national forests and bushwhacked many miles off trail in them, but not Yellowstone. I'll leave that to the bears and those giant freaking moose.
