Tourons, TechTalk, and Stories From the Road

Yellowstone National Park just reopened for the new season, but already there has been a disturbing incident involving a tourist who decided to mess with the wildlife. The park, known for its stunning natural beauty and diverse wildlife, attracts millions of visitors each year. However, not all visitors show the respect and caution necessary when interacting with the animals.

In late April, a 40-year-old man from Idaho encountered a herd of bison on West Entrance Road near the Seven Mile Bridge. Instead of keeping a safe distance and observing the animals from afar, the man decided to get out of his vehicle and kick one of the bison in the leg. As a result, the bison retaliated and mildly injured the man. This reckless behavior earned the man citations for being under the influence of alcohol, disorderly conduct, and approaching and disturbing wildlife.

This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of respecting wildlife and following park regulations. Yellowstone National Park is home to a variety of animals, including bison, bears, wolves, and elk, and it is crucial for visitors to maintain a safe distance and observe these animals from a respectful distance.

In addition to the incident with the bison, the RV Lifestyle RV Podcast also introduced a new segment called “Mike & Jen’s Storytime,” where the hosts share tales and lessons learned from their many years on the road. In this week’s episode, they recounted the time they were robbed while dining at a restaurant in Illinois. Despite the loss of valuable equipment, the hosts emphasized the importance of staying safe and learning from such experiences.

Furthermore, the podcast featured an interview with Jesse Asay of Battleborn Batteries, who discussed the benefits and considerations of using lithium batteries in RVs. The interview covered topics such as replacing existing batteries, pairing lithium with inverters, and proper wiring techniques.

The podcast also highlighted the RV News of the Week, including a report on campers who fail to use all the reservations they make, a meteor shower event, and the reintroduction of grizzly bears into Washington’s North Cascade Mountain range.

Overall, the RV Lifestyle RV Podcast continues to provide valuable insights, tips, and stories for RV enthusiasts. As the camping season kicks into high gear, it is essential for travelers to stay informed, respect nature, and prioritize safety while enjoying the great outdoors.
