And now we know - maybe

A foot inside of a shoe that was found floating in a hot spring earlier this week in Yellowstone National Park is believed to be connected to an incident on July 31, park officials said. 

A park employee made the discovery on Tuesday in the Abyss Pool, a hot spring at the West Thumb Geyser Basin that reaches 140 degrees and is about 53 feet deep.

  4. From that story: “A 20-year-old woman suffered severe burns from her shoulders to her feet last October when she tried to rescue her dog . . .” Who the fuck would allow their dog loose in an area with hot springs? No doubt she lost her dog. An absolute stupidshit. Likely a biden voter.

  5. Some background on the two most recent cases prior to this on.
    The 23-year old was looking to do some "hot potting," that is soaking is one of the pools. My favorite spot in the park was closed off because park employees were using it for hot potting. Unfortunately, the kid decided to try it at night in the hottest thermal area in Yellowstone. The pool he chose was close to boiling and very acidic. By the time help arrived, summoned by his sister that he was celebrating his college graduation with, it was a recovery not a rescue operation. By daylight, the only thing they could find was his wallet. Everything else had been dissolved.
    The pool the woman who tried to save her dog was injured in is alongside the Firehole River, maybe 30 yards from where you can park a car. The dog apparently jumped from the car and raced to the river, not realizing that this river was different. It jumped in the geyser pool not the river and the woman immediately went in after it. No one, dog or woman, did a lot of thinking. The dog would have been in the river itself for hundreds of yards in either direction, just not there. It and she chose poorly.

  7. I had to know the rest so I clicked on "More"- the first ad was for Luxury Walk-in Tubs, full of bubbling water. Coincidence?

  8. What temperature do they recommend Monkey meat be cooked to? 140° sounds like medium rare.
