The next time you're shopping for a new car, you may want to check out not only the vehicle's fuel economy and safety rating but also its bear appeal, especially if you plan to spend much time visiting national parks.

Thanks D...

Interesting article, and totally believe no matter how much the parents clean up these MiniVans, YEP, they probably smell like a traveling food mobile!

These Bears have a "super sniffer!" and once they know where to get some goodies, they always return for more. Sadly, then these bears are relocated to a totally different area.

Why don't people just keep food out of their cars when they go to these places, and I guess from the article, DON'T DRIVE A MINI VAN. Take a BUS!!!
