The thermal hot springs at Yellowstone National Park are quite the sight to see, but for some people, looking at the geysers isn't all they want to do in the park.
A man was banned from the park recently after leaving the pathway in an attempt to get near the Shoshone Geyser Basin, the park's largest geyser region. The man was seen with friends carrying cookware while hiking toward the park's largest geyser region.
He apparently wanted to use the thermal feature to cook chicken, as park rangers found two chickens in a burlap sack resting in a hot spring with cookware nearby, reports the New York Post.
The man from Idaho has now pleaded guilty to charges from his outing at Yellowstone National Park back in August.
Although the man was banned due to the park’s rules about leaving the pathway near the thermal features, for safety reasons, the park also prohibits food in the thermal areas, reports Fox News. He will be banned from the park for two years and will pay two separate fines. Next time, he’ll have to think of a better way to cook his dinner.
