“walking near the famous geyser late Sunday night without a flashlight”.

Sometimes stupid does hurt.

(I was there a few weeks ago. Do that, you will.)

When do they announce that alcohol or drugs were involved? The hot springs at Yellowstone DO NOT have lights. Once you get away from the campgrounds, you can see the Milky Way...

A park full of hot springs, wolves, bears, and bison and he wants to walk around there late at night without anything but the stars to guide him? Was he up drinking or smoking with a scarecrow and a cowardly lion?

He must have been drunk to be walking aimlessly AT NIGHT around live, open air geysers.
No word on how he got out of that geyser and who called for help.

The famous geyser is Old Faithful, for those who do not want to follow the link.

“... he was walking near the famous geyser late Sunday night without a flashlight when he tripped into a hot spring.”

Some people just have a suicide wish.

Park spokeswoman Morgan Warthin said Cade Edmond Siemers told rangers he was walking near the famous geyser late Sunday night without a flashlight when he tripped into a hot spring.

This is why there are seemingly obvious warnings on things like toasters that warn you not to operate them while in a bathtub, or some such. Because somewhere, someone did just that.

It could have happened to anyone. I hope he comes out ok.

At least he wasn’t the perennial stupid environut who gets gored while petting a buffalo.
