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.

You can avoid tourists if you walk 100 yards away from the main areas (and, no I don't mean walk off the boardwalks). It seems as if 95% of the people all crowd into the exact same places.
For instance, at Old Faithful there are benches set up near the Lodge where hundreds of people will sit and wait for the next eruption. You will be 20 people deep. If you simply walk on the boardwalk for 10 minutes you will be on the other side of the geyser and all by yourself. [Reply]

I would have to go with September, after the kiddies are back in school. [Reply]
They know how to get into things! Car doors, house doors, campers and tailgates. Lock yo shit up! Maybe even roll up your window so he doesn't reach in and steal your camera! [Reply]

Sad thing is, for all the excitement and wonder, most bears who do that have injuries to their front paw[s]. [Reply]

I have always wanted to get a Bigfoot costume and mess with you bastards on one of our adventures. Jump out from behind a tree, let out a sasquatch howl and run toward you. The only reason I haven't pulled that one is because I know you guys are well armed and I would likely end up getting my ass shot!! :-) [Reply]
