If he falls in, it'll take a thousand years for him to be digested.

About twenty years ago me and the GF, at the time, took a trip to Yellowstone. There was an epic snowfall that year. So we did a snowmobile tour of a small area of the park. Given the snow fall the roads/paths had been plowed. The Bison were smart enough to use said roads/paths for their use. So deep into our tour we come around a turn and sure enough there are Bison on the road in single file walking. We had to pass within 6 feet of these massive animals only to have one swing his head and grunt at me. Made me a little concerned...the same tour later on, we on our way to a hot spring and had come to a stop. I look over I see a bush and hiding in there was a female Moose and her baby, I had another concern.

Didn't the Chinese government have to start running public info campaigns recently telling their citizens it's not ok to defecate in public when visiting other countries? I'm not joking I think that's a real story.

Looks like the Bison wrangler was a French Canadian from Quebec.......figures.

You'd of thought they could of found a buffalo ranch somewhere close that needed a new bloodline that could of taken care of it.

They won't do that for fear of spreading brucellosis (sp) outside the park to other herds.

What do you know...they're Canadian too.

Four Canadian men have become the center of a Yellowstone National Park law enforcement investigation after they posted photos and video of themselves walking on the Grand Prismatic Spring and the nearby crater of the Excelsior Geyser.
The men, tagged on Facebook as Justis Cooper, Alexey Lyakh, Hamish McNab Campbell Cross and Ryker Gamble, have posted extensively in recent weeks about what they dubbed “The Great American Road Trip,” which included a recent stop in Yellowstone.

I may or may not have stepped off the path a time or two for a photo. Not like they did mind you but a couple steps here or there

I have a rule. If grass is growing there it is safe

Hopefully it isn't an endangered grass...

Actually several rangers there know me and I'm sort of a minor celebrity there. One of the rangers told me, its better to beg forgiveness than it is to ask permission.

So I stick to the rules

That probably works when you're not at altitude. I can't even count the number of times I've wanted to throw rocks at people walking on the tundra in Rocky Mountain National Park (often in order to approach an elk more closely).

It's infuriating.

Yeah I was reading about that, karma is a real bitch. Do stupid things, win stupid prizes, like a dirt nap.
