Goofs: Errors in geography: When Charlie is broadcasting in Yellowstone he says he is at the top of Mount Bighorn. No such peak with that name exists in Yellowstone. Additionally, when Charlie is at the peak he passes the wooden sign “Mount Bighorn – Elevation 2500 feet”. But the lowest elevation in all of Yellowstone is 5314 feet, therefore, this Mount Bighorn is completely fictitious.
