Two women, Tara Davoli, 31 years old, and Sarah A. Piotrowski, 30, both of Philadelphia, were sentenced this week for being off-trail in a thermal area of Yellowstone National Park.

The charges are the result of an incident on June 11, 2020, where both women were seen off the boardwalk walking in a thermal area, which resulted in damage to orange bacterial mats at Opal Pool in the Midway Geyser Basin.

Numerous witnesses saw the two walking on the feature and confronted them in an effort to get them to stop.

which resulted in damage to orange bacterial mats “

I doubt that they did any meaningful damage at all. Panty wetting tree huggers are assholes.

I’ve went off trail in a non-thermal area to avoid a moose. On my way back from a waterfall and this extremely large moose was wandering around near the trail. I terrible wanted to avoid an encounter.

What repair costs $223.84 ?

That’s a very specific number. Did they order more yellow scum from Amazon?

Is that taxes included?

I agree. Let the fools walk where they want if off trail. Those thermal springs are between 190 and 212 degrees. They will boil your skin off most efficiently. Oddly if you are recovered from the thermal you may live for a few days or even weeks. You will die in extreme pain lessened by much morphine.

I have no sympathy for malignant stupidity.

There's a lot of heat down under that crust.

I remember as a kid trying to dig a hole in my backyard to China. I got in a lot of trouble for that. Even though I only got about six feet deep. I found a wheat penny and a couple of arrowheads.
