Day 96: Yellowstone, Southern Border

36.4mi

- Must've had a moose or elk clump up near me last night. It freaks me out because I was sleeping with my food and I thought it was a bear.

- Kind of just trucked all day with a couple of short breaks to make it to the Yellowstone Snake River Campsight I reserved.

- Made it to Yellowstone while I happened to come across a chapter in an audiobook that was saying Yellowstone was sitting atop a super volcano that is due to blow.

- Met hiker, trail name Jeremy, today. He was saying that he had nicknames all his life so he thought he'd just be his real name. I guess a couple of nicknames were Germy & Worm. He told me he wants to be a pirate ninja when he finishes the trail.

- Saw a bear after talking about bears with Jeremy. It hissed at us as it ran up hill. Did t know they do that.

- Hanging bear rope at the campsight I somehow on my first throw got my carabiner lodged in a bolt and washer that was securing the bear hang pole between two trees. Jeremy offered to climb up and retrieve it 20ft up and got it down relatively quickly.
