A guide who led a tour group through Yellowstone as the government shutdown began accused the National Park Service of “Gestapo tactics†in trying to prevent the visitors from viewing any of the park’s sites.Tour director Gordon Hodgson told the Livingston Enterprise, a Montana newspaper, that park rangers allowed the group to stay at a lodge for the 48 hours they were allotted under shutdown rules, but refused to let them do anything else in the park — including walk on the boardwalk paths outside the lodge or visit any of the park’s geysers.At one point he tried to take his tour out and pulled over to let them photograph bison, but a park ranger pulled up and ordered them to get back on the bus, telling them they could be charged with trespassing.
SammyBaxter • 24 minutes ago Shutdowns have consequences. Parks that are the size of connecticut cannot operate without full fire, EMT, police, etc etc. Emergency services do not fund themselves. Ironic that many of the Reps driving this shutdown are from districts surrounding Yellowstone.
SammyBaxter > Michael Berry • 8 minutes ago Yellowstone is a landmark because of its geothermal activity, as well as access to major wildlife, often along the side of the road. Millions of annual visitors would not simply manage themselves. That said, the land outside of Yellowstone is the same thing! You don't have to go to a National Park to see geothermal activity or wildlife!
Yellowstone visitor says her tour group was locked inside park hotel during slimdownA Massachusetts woman says she and fellow tour-group members were locked under armed guard inside a Yellowstone National Park hotel during a visit to the park at the start of the government slimdown.Pat Vaillancourt told the Newburyport News newspaper the incident unfolded Oct. 1 when they were already inside the park and a ranger would not let them off the tour bus to photograph roaming bison.The group -- roughly 40 senior citizens from around the world -- was allowed to return to the Old Faithful Inn to spend a second night at the hotel, but some with limited English skills thought they were under arrest, she said.
Has anyone put a medley of these events on youtube yet?Will make a good political ad.
If they were placed under armed guard and confined to a defined area, I'd be interested if any of them have considered filing a false arrest lawsuit against O.
Comrade "O" was not aware of this travesty. It will never happen again until the next time.What is bothering me, is that fellow citizens who happen to be govt. employees, are willing to do this shit.
Our ancestors would have been shooting by now.
