That big black bear is walking right up to where my mother and father are standing (outside of their car) in the beautiful YELLOW STONE PARK in northern Wyoming.
As it approaches my mother, it stands on its hind legs and places its paws on my mother’s shoulders, looking her in the face.
Standing a few feet from them, very softly my father said to my mother “Stand very still and don’t look him in the eye.” And believe-you-me, that is precisely what my frightened mother did. After a couple minutes this big black bear appeared satisfied with what he saw, got down and slowly ambled away. Whew!!!!!!!
NOW…..my mother and father started breathing again!!! Well….at least my mother started to breath again, as nothing ever seemed to bother my father except those cactus thistles in the desert in bloom when he reached to pick a flower and pulled back a handful if stickers. OUCH!!!!!!!!
