Ton of Elk crap. No, no, I mean it. A ton. A couple thousand pounds. Ever been by a lake where a gaggle of geese have resided for more than 10 minutes? It's like that, only the geese weigh 800 pounds.

I'm a sucker for signs like this...

Mammoth Hot Springs to North Entrance

See the insert on the Boiling River sign? It might be a bit too small to read, so let me put the text here.

Thermally influenced waters may contain bacteria known to cause serious skin rashes, infections, and/or amoebic meningitis which can be quickly fatal. Ingesting water through your mouth and nose is particularly dangerous. Keep your head above water, if you have any signs or symptoms of irritation or disease, seek medical help immediately.

SWIM AT YOUR OWN RISK

It didn't say to clinch really hard, but I'd do that too.
