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.

Not at Norris there are almost no guard rails at all. Some places have no boardwalks (generally where it is safe)

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.

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. |

And that, my friends, is why you don't step off the boardwalk. Now, if you'll excuse me I'm going to go throw up and then sit in a corner and hug myself as I try to forget about dying that way.
