BILLINGS - Some Yellowstone National Park visitors went off the beaten path at Old Faithful and were caught by an onlooker all the way in Wisconsin.
The Wisconsin resident was watching one of the park's webcams when he saw four people standing on the cone of the geyser Wednesday. More than two dozen others jumped on the bandwagon. The Wisconsin onlooker notified park rangers, who then issued fines to three of the offenders.
"It's very difficult to approach the Old Faithful geyser without seeing several signs that tell you to be careful. I don't know that anyone remembers a time that we had this number of people walk off the boardwalk at Old Faithful in recent history," said park spokesman Al Nash.
