When I was growing up, my family went to Yellowstone Park almost every year.
This was in the days before some idiot gave LSD to the bears. The bears would
come right up to the cars. Saw lots of them right next to the car window. (Dad
would NOT let us roll the windows down enough for Mr. Bear to get his head in).
One year we saw a total of 67 bears. Most from a distance, but a dozen or so
close up.
