Imagine this, if you will.
It's the last night of your second hitch in Yellowstone National Park by Norris Geyser, and you're absolutely wiped after doing fuels reduction work all week.
While you're lying in your tent trying to get some shut-eye, you hear some crunching outside; you think to yourself that it's just the same squirrels that have been keeping you up every night. As you're trying to ignore it, you realize that this crunching is slower and seems heavy. Suddenly, you hear your crewmate calling your name in a hushed tone, telling you to slowly open your rainfly and look out of your tent. A little confused, you do as you're told, as you look out, you see it; hold up, that ain't a squirrel. Ten feet away from your tent is a bison just casually grazing. No better way to end your hitches in Yellowstone.
