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.. |

I'm sure bison and elk get taken by sinkholes more than you think.

Then there is the whole small footprint size by comparison to a human. Due to that, the pounds of pressure per square inch is much higher for a hoofed animal. I am quite sure they would be more likely to punch a hole than any human of any size.

Yeah sorry I didn't mean Bison and Elk weigh less than us, just that most wildlife in the park does. That said, I have never seen any Bison or Elk anywhere near any of the active geological features in the park.

I just assumed it was a statement about American obesity rates.

Try to hit the Beartooth Rally July 15-17. And once again, ride the Beartooths from Red Lodge to Cooke City. Don't take the Cody route. It's not the same!

You're right, if you have never been that way it's a must. I go the Chief Joseph route now just to avoid old Granddad in Winnebago doing 5 MPH thinking he going to die. It keeps my blood pressure down and my .500 in the holster.

Although, If you've never been up the pass, you'll stop for pictures often enough to not worry about grandpa. |
