The bus stopped along a road when a large herd of bison passed nearby, and seniors filed out to take photos. Almost immediately, an armed ranger came by and ordered them to get back in, saying they couldnt recreate. The tour guide, who had paid a $300 fee the day before to bring the group into the park, argued that the seniors werent recreating, just taking photos.She responded and said, Sir, you are recreating, and her tone became very aggressive, Vaillancourt said.
The seniors quickly filed back onboard and the bus went to the Old Faithful Inn, the parks premier lodge located adjacent to the parks most famous site, Old Faithful geyser. That was as close as they could get to the famous site barricades were erected around Old Faithful, and the seniors were locked inside the hotel, where armed rangers stayed at the door.
They looked like Hulk Hogans, armed. They told us you cant go outside, she said. Some of the Asians who were on the tour said, Oh my God, are we under arrest? They felt like they were criminals.
A lot of people who were foreign said they wouldnt come back (to America), she said.

Bluegrass is why we go to CO. It is not for french fries! LOL Which a dinner server said to us once when we were there, “Fries, we don’t serve fries”.
Recent events suggest that they need to rethink their position. Governments never suffer a shortage of those willing to torture, abuse and even murder their fellow citizens.
“They told us you can’t go outside...”
I went have organized a bunch of people, told the Nazi park rangers eff you, and stormed past them. Have the camera phones at the ready. What are they going to do, shoot everyone?
Sigh. “I went have” should be “I would have.”
FR needs an “edit your post” feature.
If was a park ranger and was told to tell people to “ Stop recreate” it would be my last day.
You there.....don’t look out the window and put away the cameras, this land belongs to King Obama and none are allowed to enjoy it unless he decrees it.

The actions of these federal officers needs to be documents, and names taken. Then entered into a public database for everyone to see the shame they each have brought on America.
