I remember one tourist in GTNP asking if they "turn the Tetons off at night." None of us could quite figure out what that meant.
A buddy who worked in Yellowstone told a story about a couple park employees who had a wheel on a metal pole, and before Old Faithful erupted they ran out in front of a group of tourists and started cranking the wheel like they were turning it on. When the eruption was done, they turned the wheel the other way like they were turning it off, and then they got the hell out of there.

That's fucking awesome!
Speaking of which: hang out in West Yellowstone for about 5 minutes. There's bound to be some good ones.No longer stuck.

A 14-year-old student of mine to me, while on expedition, during a chat about life goals and 'settling down':
"So, when are you going to stop being a douchebag?"
He meant dirtbag.I think the potato gun proved the stability.

When I see that Gaper Quotes have made it back to the first page, my heart starts to beat faster, in anticipation of the tasty gaperness about to be revealed to me. So often I am disappointed.

Not gonna lie. If I worked there I would've emphasized the importance of a good coating on the face. Originally Posted by Shadam

Do NOT (under any circumstances) put bear spray on your genitalia.
This needs to be added to the warning label.Screw the net, Surf the backcountry!

That might actually be a great idea for a fund raiser--for testicle cancer perhaps--like the ice bucket challenge, only better. Originally Posted by BigDaddy

I got sprayed in the face with bear spray once on purpose as part of a training. I can't recommend it. Testicles??? Man oh man...
I didn't believe in reincarnation when I was your age either.

Friend guided in AK, plane dropped off some NY yahoos for an unguided moose hunt(red flag #1). Pilot took off, and circled back to make sure everything was A-OK, and saw one of the dudes running in circles, stripping his clothes off, and diving in the lake.
He landed to see what the issue was, and much like above, the custy said "man, that bear repellent is a hell of a lot worse than mosquito repellent""If we can't bring the mountain to the party, let's bring the PARTY to the MOUNTAIN!"

I wasn't quite that dumb, but close. I put it in my cargo pants pocket with safety off, then knelt to drink some water...
Pretty sure my feet never touched the ground until I hit Gunsight Lake.
Thank god those glaciers are made of ice.Screw the net, Surf the backcountry!

Uh, isn't hunting without a guide illegal in a lot of places if you're not a resident of that place? Originally Posted by Phall

Not many things more exciting than when a can of bear spray goes off in the plane. Good times!

Heh, I had an up-close & personal with that herd back in the day. Crested a little hill around Orick doing ~90mph in my alfa @5AM, and there were several elk ~50yds ahead in the road. Slammed the brakes, hit the horns, closed my eyes and waited to die. Came to a stop sideways in the road without an elk in the front seat, so I cleaned up my pants & the upholstery & headed on up the road. And drove a shitload slower thru there after that Originally Posted by Meadow Skipper

A MILF can be a cougar, but a cougar isn't necessarily a MILF.
