This is why we can't have nice things. Helicopter lands in California park during super bloom

Madison Park, CNN • Updated 27th March 2019

(CNN) — Why wait like everyone else in traffic to see the spectacular super bloom in California? A brazen pair decided to skip the lines and helicoptered into the popular Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve.

Officials stressed that it's illegal to land helicopters in the poppy reserve.

Officials at Southern California parks have been trying to protect delicate wildflowers from being trampled by overzealous visitors who travel there this season.

The helicopter landed around noon Monday, said Jorge Moreno, a California State Parks information officer. When a ranger arrived to talk to them, the two people took off in the helicopter.

When asked whether there would be any fines or consequences for the pair, Gloria Sandoval, deputy director of public affairs for the California State Parks said: "At this point, it's under investigation."
