Stupid Tourist Tricks
![]() It's off to a fast start already this year! A list of incidents involving people trying to obtain the coveted Darwin Award. I will keep you up to date of all the stupid tourist tricks. This yesterday: We thought it was cold! (this is a first) ![]() http://www.ktvq.com/story/31975424/y...ed-it-was-cold How this lady lived and was not gored is beyond me: Buy a Powerball ticket lady: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zfk1O9_quxs This from last week: Amazing no one got taken out: http://www.krtv.com/story/31915893/v...nal-park-video Much of the time, this is what happens: Fat guy vs Bison https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNvTHOrTf_Y At this rate, it should be a record year for goring incidents, Chinese tourists seem particularly clueless. So far no goring's, but it's coming. If you have any from your area, post them up. Last edited by Bwana; 06-08-2016 at 06:56 AM.. |

When I was in my teens, my dad bought a place on the Boulder River, about 30 miles north of Yellowstone, but you would have to drive around a mountain range, taking a good 3 hours to get there. We got the Billings Gazette and read about idiots in the park getting hurt or killed every year. When I hiked in the area, I was always and I mean always keeping my eyes open for wild animals. If I saw a moose, I'd stand still by a tree until it left. Never saw bears or mountain lions, but I often felt like they saw me... Once I saw a mink dive into the river after a fish and I thought to myself, "There is one of the few predators around here I don't have to worry about!" I still wouldn't have tried to go pet it.

Try filming by yourself in the dark a mile or two from any road or person, Yellowstone is ****ing deserted at night, and then see if any of the splashes or gurgles sound weird in total darkness. And I'm usually without bear spray.

So, in order to "accidentally" fall into the pool, one must climb a fence.

Never underestimate the power of stupid in the Park. My parents were in the Park over the weekend and they watched some lady at their hotel try to approach an elk that was walking by. I guess the elk got bent out of shape about it and chased her back up on the hotel deck. She left the deck and the elk turned around and came after her again. I guess in this case the tourist was Chinese. Only a small percentage of these incidents even make the paper. I would venture to say that within the next few weeks there will be another bison incident or two that does make the paper.

http://www.ktvq.com/story/32169065/y...nto-hot-spring Yellowstone National Park visitor presumed dead after falling into hot spring: YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK - A Yellowstone National Park visitor is presumed dead after a witness reported the visitor fell in to the Norris Geyser Basin. According to YNP Public Affairs Officer Charissa Reid, a search was underway for the man who disappeared Tuesday afternoon. Reid said the man is presumed dead because he has yet to be found. “The recovery process is very difficult because of the hazards of the environment,” said Reid. Reid said the man is in his 20s, but she would not identify the man or where he is from. He reportedly walked about 225 yards off the board walk before falling into the hot spring. The springs are known to reach temperatures that would be deadly to humans on contact. "Norris Geyser Basin is the hottest and most changeable thermal area in Yellowstone," according to the YNP website. Norris Geyser Basin was closed following the incident. Reid said she wanted to remind people of the danger of the springs and directed all visitors to the safety page on the YNP website. Earlier this week, a 13-year-old boy and his father suffered thermal burns near the Castle Geyser. They were flown to Salt Lake City for treatment.

I like seeing the pelicans knock tourists and their $6 bucket of fish. It's good for a laugh.
Too bad, it's been made into a 2nd degree misdemeanor. |
