No bear would eat them, and the Pennys would bankrupt the gov’t with their maintenance if incarcerated.(If a bear perchance did eat one of them it would bring additional meaning to the old saying, “Does a bear s*** in the woods?”)
we’ve been to Yellowstone NP many times. I recall one visit back in the late 80’s. we were at the entrance station, paid the fee and received the usual handful of literature about the park. amongst the park maps and information about Old Faitnful, the lodge, etc. was a bright orange sheet of paper. at the top in big, bold lettering was…’YOU HAVE AN ASBOLUTE RIGHT TO DIE IN THIS NATIONAL PARK". the text below the headline went on to explain how one could do this by approaching or feeding wildlife, getting between a momma and her young, etc. Burl would be totally confused.
Actually, if they carried food, they’d be perfectly safe. No mother bear ever defended her cubs like the Pennys would defend a chicken salad sandwich and a Snickers bar. The bears have signs posted. “DON’T GET BETWEEN THESE PEOPLE AND FOOD.”
How fast can they run?? How about climbing a tree?
OH I do hope there are cameras all around to see it happen.
They would probably drop and get in the fetal position That will make the bears think they are Twinkies and leave them alone, maybe, unless they like Twinkies also…
Too funny! If they decide to go and see the bears, Julia can have a whole series of the things to do wrong. The parks have that pretty well covered now though (I think). I’ve only been up to Grand Canyon once (and not since the new glass walk)- maybe next time my kids visit; some of my boys don’t mind a 3 hour drive.
The Penny’s would cause all kinds of problems as a family renting somewhere on a periphery of the wild areas (because folks there have to learn about food storage and disposal (and we KNOW the Pennys don’t LEARN).

We can only hope . . . Then again, I pity the poor bears.

Unfortunately that is not an uncommon attitude.

Looks like they want to feed Timmy to a bear for his birthday. Maybe the bears will adopt him, it’ll be better than staying with his current family.
