YELLOWSTONE NAT'L PARK, WY - Yellowstone National Park Service has cited six people for walking on Old Faithful after someone outside the park reported seeing them on a live park webcast.

Six men were cited for going off trail and into the geyser area last week. Park rangers also cited two of the men for illegally possessing a piece of a park natural resource, and two for urinating at the geyser. All six are scheduled to appear before a federal magistrate.

The park has a camera aimed at the geyser 24-hours a day with video streaming over the Internet.
