Bureau of Land Management investigating Bonneville Salt Flats vandals

A group of Canadians who caused outrage last month after entering restricted spaces at Yellowstone have come under fire again after a stunt of theirs – posted to social media – left the Bonneville Salt Flats damaged.
The stunt, which involved members of the High on Life SundayFundayz group wakeboarding behind a six-wheeled RV on the flooded salt flats, took place in March, according to time stamps on photos uploaded to the group’s Facebook page. An accompanying video later appeared on the group’s Twitter feed and on Vine and asked viewers whether they’d try something similar.
Four members of the group – on a cross-country road trip to promote a Vancouver-based clothing brand – were later spotted by tourists and on their own social media channels leaving a designated boardwalk to get close-up shots of themselves at Yellowstone’s Grand Prismatic Spring. The U.S. attorney’s office in Cheyenne, Wyoming, issued arrest warrants for the four – Charles Ryker Gamble, Alexey Andriyovych Lyakh, Justis Cooper Price-Brown, and Hamish McNab Campbell Cross, who have all since apparently finished their road trip and returned to Canada – though according to an Associated Press report, authorities won’t attempt to extradite the four because their crimes were misdemeanors.
....
High On Life members last month issued an apology for the Yellowstone incident, removed all photos and videos of their Yellowstone visit from their Facebook page, and pledged $5,000 to Yellowstone National Park. The group has not apologized for the Bonneville wakeboarding stunt or pledged any money to the groups seeking to restore Bonneville, however, and photos and videos of that incident remain on their social media pages.
