At Old Faithful tonight - must see!!

Postby Cindy J on Mon May 04, 2009 9:28 pm

I'm so upset I am literally shaking. I always have the webcams on - watching for wildlife. Waving at the people. When I got back to my computer this evening imagine my surprise when this is what I saw.

AND THE WORST (yes, I know I'm "shouting")

Yup. He did.

Honestly - I wish it hadn't happened. I still can't believe it.

You could call NPS Law Enforcement when you see crap like that. I would.
The number is 307-344-2120

Unbelievable!

Boy, it would have been funny, If Old faithful wasn't so faithful and irrupted!! :lol: A couple 3rd degree burns on his poor little fella would have helped out the rest of the world by keeping him from reproducing!! (Of course I am joking I dont want anyone hurt) Just another group of idiots waiting to getting themselves hurt.

This is pathetic. People like this should be banned from the park. I hope a ranger was waiting for them on the boardwalk, or better yet a bunch of Y-Netters waiting would have been great.
Yellowstone is a state of mind!!

Stuff like this just ticks me off. Destroying God's beautiful creations.

TO ALL OF YOU IDIOTS WHO DO THESE THINGS, remember, not only is God watching you, but so are the webcams! Image

Oh my, I was sitting here looking at those with my mouth open. What in the world were they thinking? I'd give anything to have been a Ranger there and seen them. I sure hope those guys were seen, caught and fined heavily!! What an absolute outrage!

Just when you think you've seen it all. I can't believe someone would go to Yellowstone, go to the area of it's most famous feature, and do THAT!!

Actually, as they were standing on the boardwalk they were passing around something that they were smoking. Wonder what THAT could be??

Just think - this is what they did at only one part of the Park. They have so much more to explore!!

I could just scream!!!

This is the real reason you want to make sure you have a UV filter on your lens when photographing geysers...

I can only hope that the LE line being busy when you tried to call meant that hundreds of webcam watchers from around the world were all calling to report it and the miscreants are sightseeing the interior of the justice center this morning. Oh, how I hope!

I tried last night and it's still busy this morning. They suggest on their tip line if it's an emergency to dial 911 and I did consider it. But I finally left a message saying I know it's 12 hours later, wondering if anything is being done. Left my phone number and told them where to find the pictures.

Marianne just posted on Facebook that the word is they've been apprehended.
Maybe they ARE getting that close up look at the interior of the new justice center! :D

Marianne posted the link to this thread then later commented that she heard they'd been apprehended.

PM me your email address, I'll send you a friend add request (or invite you to join Facebook with a friend add request if you're not already using Facebok) then send you and Marianne friend suggestions. :D
