Well with everything now a days being watched by webcam its still amazing what stupid things people still do......


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.

    Yellowstone is no place to play around... There have been instances of people going off trail and falling through the ground never to be seen again. These guys were idiots.

    I think there's two parts to it - first, they were on a live webcam for the park, peeing, so that's not good.

    And second there are certain areas in that park that are dangerous to be in, both for the park's sake and the person's.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.
