Which Park had the serial killer of women...Yosemite or Yellowstone? His spree went on for months, despite the fact that there were many rangers...no shutdown!

National Parks are very dangerous! Remeber the case of the two lesbians camping out in Shenandoah? They were being stalked by a madman who raped and killed both women.

Total propaganda.

WaPo:  Don't you know you silly peasants can't do anything without a federal government employee holding your hand the entire time?? What's the matter with you people???? Now submit.

I read the headline and knew immediately that it was either the Wash Post or the NYT, and that is, exactly, what is going to do them in.

The predictability of the news by them will help to get rid if them.

And they will never be smart enough to CONNECT THE TWO ACTIONS.

It always surprises me when the Left hasn’t a clue what happened.

It’s because the CAUSE and the EFFECT are separated by some time.

Like JC Penny, Dick’s Sporting Goods, the Weekly Standard, and on and on. The Left is really quite stupid.

That’s why I avoid tourist hangouts like the plague. Being around a crowd of people hanging out and lounging on the rocks gawking is not my idea of ‘getting away’. Better put a rope line out there to keep the stupid from killing themselves.

No Bison in Yosemite.

I dunno, some of the wimmens coming out of those RVs at Yosemite would make a bison look anemic.

The fake news media is really stooping low blaming the death of a failed selfie on the government shutdown. Would she be alive if the government didn’t shut down? Only if you do a lot of recreational medical marijuana.

The winds coming out of that canyon are brutal. I got pelted by small pebbles and sand. But the view is worth it.

The death toll at Mount Rainier National Park is more than 400 since the 1890s.

Someone dies almost every year.

We often get multiple deaths if the weather suddenly turns bad, or there is an avalanche or ice fall.

Hikers fall off the trails and climbers fall into crevasses even during perfect summer weather.

I have been in WAY too many places like this!

I was in one, alone except for my dog, just one day before I woke up with my first kidney stone attack!

Near an edge I can almost FEEL a sucking sensation!

On a hike to Delicate Arch; I was with a group that had an eight year old in it.
Just before we made the last turn to where the arch was finally visible in all it's glory; he got to dancing around with excitement and nearly went over the downside of the trail!

Just about here...
