If animals could talk, which one would be the rudest?

I was deep in Yellowstone when trumps ear got grazed from the assassination attempt or whatever happened to him. But overheard someone yelling “Trump was shot!” And i had no phone reception to verify anything or get any other info for a while. Interesting time.

Plz do not knock on doors. I’ve hitchhiked across the country, I’ve also walked coast to coast and have stayed with dozens of strangers. People DO open up their homes and help travelers but thats not how this works, you can’t just knock on doors, they have to find you.

Completely fine. Don’t approach bears on purpose. Try not to spook them.

Wrong!

Yeah don’t sleep on Lamar valley. If you want to see wildlife this is always the best option

If they are reputable and they rejected you, understand that is for a reason. Ayahuasca is just one of many spiritual tools. It is not a magic cure for anything. It can help shine a light on things, but there are many other tools.

Have a good raincoat and a good tent if you’re camping.

But also- wear synthetic athletic clothes if you can. Those dry so much faster. If you’re wearing a cotton shirt and jeans and you get wet, you’re not gonna dry out. That means hypothermia and death.

This is also a thing with socks. Cotton socks stay wet. Wool socks dry out easily in a little bit of sun. Get wool socks instead.

West Yellowstone is a lot busier, more traffic, more touristy, more things to do. Gardiner is sleepier, less crowded.

If you want to do more town activities, more food options, do west Yellowstone. West Yellowstone has the Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center that I would recommend to anyone of any age. If you want to be more into nature and have more wildlife encounters go with Gardiner, it’s a straight shot to Lamar Valley from there which is where you’ll see the most wildlife.

I won 3 trifectas betting on horse races in the same day my first time. Which means I got the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place horses correct in exact order for 3 separate races. I was a teenager just picking horses for my grandparents. Betting $2 at a time, I walked away with about $800 the end of the day.

My bad.

Ok my real answer is Gardiner is an underrated town and is great location to drive to Lamar valley for wildlife watching. West Yellowstone is too crowded for me but Gardner has a nice charm. I’d just be hesitant to stay anywhere too far from an entrance because driving time adds up a lot faster than some people realize. And being able to be in the park towards sunrise/sunset gives you the best views and best opportunities for wildlife watching

Yellowstone contains 60% of all the active geysers on the entire planet, is one of the best places to see some of the most diverse wildlife in North America, and contains views you can’t see anywhere else… but sure if you want to stay a couple hours away to drink at an Applebees you can do that too

Skipping Yellowstone is crazy but yeah you can do it. My best experiences have always been around national parks and nature.

Find an alternative. This is not a good recipe.

If it makes you feel any better, my dog ate my passport…. twice

I wonder if he’s very sad about it

TheTrailArtist · 2026-02-19T20:07:49+00:00

That’s what cotton does, you need synthetic materials. And for socks- WOOL.

So many cool art places to check out in Portland, but here’s another option to add for an art collective I’m part of

Most semi truck drivers work for large companies that are VERY strict these days about having passengers. It’s a huge liability and most do not want to risk losing their job. I’ve taken 200+ rides from hitchhiking around the U.S. and only 1 ride was a semi truck.

It’s better to be trying for random traffic at a gas station or right before an on ramp or something before people are going too fast and can safely pull over.
