to get a selfie.
In Yellowstone last year I was amazed tosee folks getting out of their vehicles to get up close to Bison, Bear, Elk to get selfies.
Whole lot of stoopids out there.
When I was VERY young and stupid (15) I was back-packing alone in the Tetons. I was smart enough though to keep plenty of distance between myself and a moose on the trail once. It was late in the afternoon, and both of us were heading up the hill.
I was using the trail that switched-backed up the hill. He was going straight up the hill but munching on the grass as he went. I had to wait every so often, but I timed it so that I was at one of the turns while he was walking up more near the middle of each straight section.
