I was in Rocky Mountain NAtional Park in September a few years ago---that Saturday they had their annual free entrance day.

Thus you got more crowds who dont normally do national parks--thus they dont understand this is not a petting zoo.

Me and a few other people watching the Elk were talking of sertting up a betting table on who would get attached first.

There were these two Elk clashing and a bunch of people maybe 30 yards at most from it. A ranger tried to get them to move back---they wouldnt listen.
