Back in the day when my offspring were young, we all loved camping.
Took twelve weeks the summer of 1968 and travelled from Halifax to
Vancouver, then down through the US past Yellowstone.

Camped in Yellowstone there was an RV opposite us. When the bears were
there in the middle of the night raiding the garbage cans, clever dick
from RV steps out, takes a flash pic and jumps back in his RV. Chaos
reigned as the bear crashed through out tents, he was lucky (the RVer)
he wasn't lynched.

Not being stuck in an RV we met many interesting people and usually
after supper there would be quite a gathering of kids and parents.
Terrible of course, parents drinking, kids roaming round, OMG it's
amazing how strangers didn't grab them!
