Probably belonged to a Californian that tried to pet a grizzly
YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo. (AP) — Yellowstone National Park officials are investigating after a park employee spotted part of a foot, in a shoe, floating in a hot spring in the southern part of the park, officials said Thursday.
We had an "experienced outdoorswoman" from California get eaten by a griz a year or two ago near me. She was so "experienced" that she kept food in her tent, and didn't move it out after other campers chased a bear out of the campground prior to it mauling her to death.

We were in Yellowstone in the summer of 2016. In the following November, a moron thought he would check the feel of the scalding water in a hot spring by trying to touch it and fell in. By the time they were able to try a retrieval, his body had dissolved in the acidic waters. Could be the same thing here because they warn you to stay on the elevated boardwalk... NOT to walk on the ground because most of it is just a crust. Although while in Yellowstone, we observed many idiots acting as though they were in a petting zoo. We came upon a traffic jam where there shouldn't be one, and it was a couple of grizzlies in the grass, and idiots that just parked their cars wherever got out and were trying to take selfies with the bears. Another time a group of at least 10 people walked almost 1/2 a mile over the open ground to reach a small herd of bison. I took and narrated a video of that one. We didn't bother to stick around to watch for a trampling event.
Since 1872, 8 deaths attributed to a Grizzly encounter. Pretty rare; it's more likely to fall into a hot spring, get cooked & eaten by predators, or cannibals. Whoever's foot that was, we know they probably didn't walk back out.
A rather “grizzly” end, I would think.

ReplyDeleteHmmm - bastids are moving inland from the coast!

Another theory: Maybe all that recent flooding washed some Pacific ocean tiger sharks all the way to Yellowstone.
