What NOT TO DO when you visit Wyoming

Sometimes city folks are just plumb stupid. So I'll provide a couple of hints to those thinking of heading to the great outdoors for their summer vacation.

I mentioned in my last post that the tourists in 1926 who visited Cheyenne, Wyoming, had questionable judgement. I now provide my examples and some words to etch into your brain.

DON'T CASUALLY SURROUND A BEAR! You are nothing more than food standing next to a toothpick.

And for cryin' out loud...DON'T SNEAK UP BEHIND A BEAR TO PET ITS BUTT! One would think this would not be something any sane person would need to be told.

Seriously, I'm sure there are people today, this very day, somewhere in this country who did this. It's between those of us born with common sense and all the rest of the nut cases.

The tourists WITH THE BABY at the Round-Up

These two women tourists are part of the group that attended the Cheyenne Round-Up in 1926. There are more of them to come in which we will all question their judgement. Here they're just looking at a baby on a cradle board.
