West Yellowstone

Why not? Yeah.

Tetons and Yellowstone are not that good.

Not terribly far, but I've definitely, I lived in Bozeman for about 10, 12 years, which is, that's that, their back door is the Jackson, Tetons, West Yellowstone.

Sweet.

Yeah.

I know we talked before the show about the Yellowstone TV show with Costner.

Yeah,

yeah, yeah.

We stopped in Chicago for pizza and then we were in the Badlands, Badlands National Park.

Um, but then we went up through the Tetons and, uh, Yellowstone.

And so I had never been up through that whole area.

The Tetons are insane.

I had a great pin that someone had shared with me, uh, you know, overlooking that mountain range out there.

And then driving through Yellowstone was like a whole excursion, which we got to see more of it than we thought.

There was a very rare fatality accident in the park the day that we were there.

And there's like only one road that goes through that park.

All the places snowmobiling gets you.

First time we went out to like West Yellowstone and Island Park and seen all of that.

It's just like crazy.

So I think that is the biggest takeaway for me.

on.

Like,

we get to do quite a bit of that out in West Yellowstone, like, once a year when they have everything out there, and we go... go ride for a little bit it's fun to hop on some of the stuff they don't normally get on yeah and go out and try that stuff out but yeah it's a lot of fun uh thanks guys for coming on thanks for making time for this uh you guys at home watching this uh give these guys a follow on on social media there there's some great content coming out of here You got Oscar Anderson, Alvin Johansson, Keaton Roper.

I was going to make a crack at the flying thing again, but...

That means it's in one of four states, Wyoming, Montana, Colorado, or New Mexico.

I have also confirmed that this treasure is not in Yellowstone.

As with Forrest's poem, find the right canyon and you are well on your way.

It used to go down, but I had to go around.

We were just planting our first boots on the ground when it was found.

So we'd never even been boots on the ground.

But our solve, or solves, we had several because that ambiguous poem was so ambiguous that But majority of ourselves were in southern Montana and stretched into Wyoming and Yellowstone.

We had several in actually Yellowstone.

Never approach a bison simply because it appears calm.

if a herd blocks the road enjoy the moment you're in yellowstone the bison have the right of way an unexpected encounter with a bear cub one of the most memorable wildlife experiences from my trip happened around west yellowstone a young bear appeared in an area where visitors were gathered near shops and businesses naturally everyone became excited people began taking photographs and i was among those who wanted to capture the unusual moment At the time, the excitement of seeing a bear cub so close was difficult to resist.

Looking back, however, I recognize something important.

A bear cub should never be approached, no matter how small or harmless it appears.

Yellowstone is truly one of America's greatest natural treasures.

But as I've learned from my own visits, a little preparation can make the difference between a wonderful adventure and an unexpected challenge.

my sister, we went to Wyoming.

We went to Yellowstone.

And you're driving uphill a lot, you know, and stuff like that.

So I got into Yellowstone and I thought, well, you need to check the oil in both the cars right now because you're going uphill a lot.

And we checked it in the valley and stuff before we left Fresno.

And they didn't have the exact weight that they needed for her car.

I'm like, do you see where the reading is on the dipstick in your car right now? It's at the bottom.

So you burn some oil coming up here.
