Aaaagh! Totally forgot tonight is book club. I must attend since I actually finished the book. So bummed I'll miss #parkchat. Just have to point out that the #GovernmentShutdown is affecting a high percentage of people from Montana, Alaska, & Maryland. https://t.co/eB22JHGego

A1: We had to cancel our holiday #publiclands roadtrip to Arizona as soon as the shutdown began as Mr PLL was required to return to work immediately. He has been working without pay since then. #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @publiclandlvr @Wild_Tribute A1) We had to cut out our extended adventure in Desert Wildlife National Refuge in #Nevada last weekend due to safety concerns with no one on duty. #travel #parkchat

A3 We made excellent use of @CusterStatePark while in the #BlackHills. There’s a lot of outside left to see. #parkchat #govermentshutdown

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @publiclandlvr @Wild_Tribute Changed my travel plans drastically back in Dec. Planned a trip to several parks that ended up closed. Diverted to Utah on a whim during my layover in ATL to Utah, where the parks were kept open by the local governments and trusts.

Best move I ever made. #FindYourPark #ParkChat

replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr @ChacoCultureNHP A3. I am using State Parks and County Parks while I wait out the Federal shutdown. Luckily, @CAStateParks have some amazing #OptOutside opportunities and continue to be properly maintained and cared for. #ParkChat
