Makes sense. They aren’t very good drivers.

So you also slowed down to take a picture and make all the other losers behind you also have to wait like you did?

I pulled off and parked in a pullout. But yeah it was backed up for almost an hour.

One thing I fucking hate is the people who don't pull over to take pic of Bison or anything else. Annoying as hell and what I hate about Yellowstone is the tourons (moronic tourist) my wife came up with that term. It fits. When were you there?

Same thing happened to us last month but a bunch of cars pulled over to play with the cub. Fortunately the Momma didn't turn a dozen people into confetti https://imgur.com/a/DLVUxsJ

I thought that was going to be a pic of a baby bear.

There's a bear, it's way up by that parked camper (I think they were throwing food at it even), but after we started rolling again I put the phone down so didn't get a decent shot

I see him now!! There are "Don't feed the bears" signs everywhere!

I'm these sorts of situations you just have to grin and bear it

Happens anytime there is a bear. We got a great shot of one while we were there couple weeks ago.
