Final Planning Prep for Road Trip 215...

[lagilman]

Seattle, Washington to Cody, Wyoming, route now confirmed: heading out via Montana, and coming back via Idaho/Oregon. I will therefore be adding THREE new states to my BTDT (been there, driven that) list….

I think there are only 3 states to go, on that list. Hrmmmm

And hey, I scored 88% on the “Bear identification exam” (I only misidentified a black bear vs a grizzly 2x). This would be more reassuring if I thought I was actually going to have more than 5 seconds to check the placement of a bear’s ears and the shape of their snout if one’s charging me….

Note to my mom: there are going to be NO bears where we are. None whatsoever. No need to worry.

Just remember, you don't have to be faster than the bear; you just have to be faster than the other guy. (Which is why I wouldn't go on a road trip in that area on a bet.)

Ditto.
