When it did I floored it, got ahead of the google family, goddamn, they even used the turn signal to merge in behind us. Maybe I should have slammed on the brakes to see if it would´ve rear ended us.

In 2016, a 23-year-old man died in the Lower Geyser Basin after leaving the boardwalk, and authorities deemed it too unsafe to recover his body, which dissolved almost completely by the next day.
