> ********************************************
> In May of 1994, Tony Moore, 43, of Marietta, Georgia,
> was gored and seriously injured by a large male bison
> in Yellowstone, next to the Lake Hotel. Moore and a
> friend had approached to within 15 feet of the bison
> to have their pictures taken. While they were standing
> with their backs to the animal, it charged. Moore's
> companion escaped, but Moore received a severe puncture
> wound in his right thigh and was taken by ambulance to
> a hospital in Jackson for treatment. ....

> Requesting Assistance.
> ***********************
> In 1994, a woman visiting from the Bay Area embarked
> on a solo hike to the summit of El Captian in Yosemite.
> When she became lost and saw a storm brewing, she called
> 911 from her cellular phone and asked to be rescued. A
> helicopter found her barely off the trail and one-fourth to
> half a mile from the top of El Cap. When the 'copter lifted
> off and the woman saw how close she was to her summit
> goal, she asked the crew to set her down on top. When the
> crew declined, she threatened to sue them for kidnapping. ...

> Caring For The Creatures
> **************************
> A woman, appearing rather distraught, came into the visitor
> center at Redwood National Park in California to report
> that she had seen several Irish setters lying along the
> edge of the highway and she feared they were dead or
> injured. Rangers explained to her that these were pieces
> of redwood bark that had fallen off logging trucks.
