Yellowstone park

Starting the day refreshed from a jim beam induced sleep, we headed to Walmart, before this trip I wasn't excited about Walmart but I was expecting the most amazing shop ever!! It is average at best, firstly every sandwich they sell has cheese on, only a third of the store is food based and the size of produce is well American sized!

Today however Walmart was needed! We were heading for yellowstone national park and temperatures at night were about to drop! I bought a new hoodie, trousers, shoes and a bag I was ready for bear country!

Oh yes I forgot to mention tonight I am camping in sodding bear country, 2 weeks ago a hiker was mauled to death by a bear in this very park! The rules of sleeping near bears are: no food, drink, cosmetic products and toothpaste in the tent! Little bit nervous about sleeping tonight but firstly let us enjoy the natural wonder that is yellowstone park!

As you can see from the pic it is stunning, it is huge apparently not much smaller than england! It is home to some crazy geothermal activity with volcanos and geysers erupting daily, apparently this is due to the fact it is only 5 miles from the earth crust as apposed to the normal 20miles!

We wanted to go on some hikes today but they were shut due to bear danger............. Brings us nicely on to the evening and after cooking extremely quickly and removing all traces of food ASAP, we had a campfire and began bricking it! Before long i was alone in my tent with every noise being greater but a firmer clench of my sleeping bag, until at 1am I heard the bin slam shut and twigs breaking! I was now awake and I was now petrified the fact it was two blokes going to bed is irrelevant, after this, sleep will be tough and as I type this it is 1:38 am and i now worry, does light attract bears? Have i actually drawn them to me by writing this, is my music attracting them, this is highly doubtful currently listening to the climb by joe mcelldry, i have no idea what attracts women let alone bears!! Time for the iPod to go away! Hopefully u will c this entry and I am not eaten by a bear! If I am Michelle McManus all this time as my funeral song please! Hope u r all sleeping well!!

Av fun xx
