    Happened in early August, according to the Nate Eaton Idaho News, Park authorities received reports of a group carrying cooking gear towards a hot springs.

    That's strange. Kinda resourceful thinking however. No stove required if you're camping in a geothermally active area?

    When I read stuff like this I like to use my favorite Forest Gump quote; " Stupid is as stupid does."

    While I was out there, some tourist opened their car door and their little poodle ran out and jumped into a hot spring. Hot dog for lunch.

    I think somebody once said that the infinity of the universe is matched only by the infinite stupidity of the human race. Can't remember who said it.

    Oh man, oh man, this gives me a great idea!

    The ATC could install geothermal heating and cooking device at every shelter! Hot chow, no stoves required.

    Remember it's a non establishment policy or well have solar lights & showers at every shelter, plus fees for staying there.
