That's strange. Kinda resourceful thinking however. No stove required if you're camping in a geothermally active area?

When I read stuff like this I like to use my favorite Forest Gump quote; " Stupid is as stupid does."

While I was out there, some tourist opened their car door and their little poodle ran out and jumped into a hot spring. Hot dog for lunch.

I think somebody once said that the infinity of the universe is matched only by the infinite stupidity of the human race. Can't remember who said it.
a spring chicken trying to put a chicken in the spring.
Oh man, oh man, this gives me a great idea!
The ATC could install geothermal heating and cooking device at every shelter! Hot chow, no stoves required.

Remember it's a non establishment policy or well have solar lights & showers at every shelter, plus fees for staying there.
