Life Stupid Tourist Tricks - Page 6

**Bwana** · 06:56 AM

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)

How this lady lived and was not gored is beyond me: Buy a Powerball ticket lady:

This from last week: Amazing no one got taken out:

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.

Yeah, true in some cases, but bison and elk aren't exactly light as a feather.

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.

More selfie sticks and their owners will go air born before long.

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.

Amen!

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

Yeah, just no one is reporting it.

Max Alonso and his wife came from Chile to visit Yellowstone. They were upset when they saw a group of people trying to feed a bear with two cubs.

He said, “They were trying to give a carrot to them.”

Quote:

Scientist and educator Dr. Jim Halfpenny recalled, “And I was in the middle of our group, and I heard one of them say, ‘o, no. no please get back on the boardwalk.’ And I turned and had five foreign tourists, a group of three and a group of two, and they were off the boardwalk.”
