Park workers fired after peeing in Old Faithful

This reminds me of some dipshit move Hootie would pull.

CHEYENNE, Wyo. - Two seasonal Yellowstone National Park concession workers have been fired after a live webcam caught them urinating into the Old Faithful geyser.

Park spokesman Al Nash said a 23-year-old man on Tuesday was fined $750 and placed on three years of unsupervised probation for urinating, being off trail in a restricted area and taking items from the area. The man also was banned from Yellowstone for two years.

The second employee's case is pending.

The park's dispatch center was called after someone watching a webcam on the geyser saw six employees leaving the trail and walking on Old Faithful on May 4.

The geyser was not erupting at the time.

Xanterra Parks & Resorts general manager Jim McCaleb said the former concession workers were hired at the Old Faithful Inn and that such incidents were rare.

Good Christ. They have Grand Opening events through the 25th!

I hope the execs don't stay through all that. I need stuff from some of them!

Anyway, If nothing else, go in and check it out. The taxidermy in there really is something to see. It is pretty amazing. They also have some good stuff. A lot of it is overpriced, but their Private Label stuff is typically very good and affordable. Some people hate the place, others refuse to pay full price and bargain shop. It's not for everyone, but it ought to be a good store.

Hell, I'd like to pee off of the top 10 highest bridges in the world. I'd like to piss off of the top of the grand canyon. I pee'd in the snow on the top of Mary Jane Ski resort.....

If I was 20, working a summer job in Yellowstone, I can see how that seemed like a better idea than it turned out to be.


When they're 30, they'll be laughing with friends around a bonfire about the time they got fired from Yellowstone for pissing into old faithful.

Thats what I was thinking.
Still waiting for a certain lawyer and one of the ex's to kick the bucket so I can piss on their graves.

"Johnny, go stand next to the bison and I'll take your picture." "ON SHIT!"

The allure of those big stinking bastards wore off after about five minutes on my first trip to the Black Hills. Honestly, if they had been hunted into extinction, I wouldn't miss them one damn bit.

I agree.

If the said tatonka would have taken a horn swing at my rig, he would have found out that a 3/4 ton with a V-10 has a lot more power. I would have just pushed his fat hairy ass off the road, given him the one finger salute and been on my way.

Hmmmmm

Sounds like a fun trip to Cooke City again. We can do your version of cow tipping.... Bison pushing with a 4x4
