National Park Service Continues to Troll People On Social Media
"You don't always have to run faster than a bear, you just have to run faster than your friend." It has always been a funny figure of speech when it comes to surviving a bear attack in the wilderness. Apparently, some people are taking that a little too literally, when it comes to bears. So much so that it got a response from the National Park Service.
Obviously, it is a tongue-in-cheek way of sharing with park visitors how to be bear-aware. Spring is when bears start becoming active and desperate for food.
Now, the NPS continues to troll visitors with even more on its social media pages. As Spring is well underway, the National Park Service has decided to release yet another MEME to raise awareness of bears in our national parks. With some helpful tips on planning your next visit to any of our National Parks.
But, in all seriousness, be Bear aware. Always carry pepper spray when hiking in the backcountry. Also, keep an eye out when you are taking out the trash. We are on the fringes of bear country and there is no shortage of bear sightings in town.
