Summary

We are firm believers that the national parks are a people-watching phenomenon, and you will see things there that you won’t see anywhere else in the world. (And we aren’t talking about nature - we’re talking about stupid behavior!) In this episode of Exploring the National Parks, we are discussing some of the wildest things that we have seen in the parks. Join us for National Park Visitor Bingo and Two Truths and a Lie as we share the good, the funny, and the bad! Join us as we cover: National Park Visitor Bingo The craziest things we see every time we are in the parks Two Truths and a Lie The people who put the wild in wildlife The things people do for social media Why the buffalo is the king of beasts Sports in the parks Yes, the water in Yellowstone is boiling Dumb things the park service has done Many of these things are funny, but the way that we interact with these national parks has a big impact, so it’s important to know what to do and what not to do! Be sure to pick up your National Park Visitor Bingo Card and see the full show notes here.
