Public Lands and the Government Shutdown

replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr @NatlParkService @PetroglyphNPS A2. I think for the protection of the #publiclands they should be closed, yes, because unsupervised visitors have now proven they can’t be responsible. #ParkChat


replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr @ChacoCultureNHP A3 State Parks...Texas has like 90+ but @PedernalesFalls State Park is practically in my backyard so it’s my go to hiking/outdoor spot for now #ParkChat


replying to @mjn126 @mjn126 @publiclandlvr @Twitter @visitrainier @CAStateParks A4) Well we haven't seen too much so we'll be following this closely . . . #ParkChat


Hi Park Lovers. I’m Deah, and last year I visited 22 National Parks on an epic road trip ! #ParkChat


A1. The #governmentshutdown hasn’t personally affected my plans because I’ve been in India since it began. But I can’t imagine how mad I’d be if I had flown all the way here, paid for a visa, and their parks and sites were closed. I’d be fuming! #ParkChat


A5. Well, since I was just there, I vote for Harstine Island @WAStatePks. Beautiful forest -- even some old-growth! -- and saltwater shoreline. #ParkChat


replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr @ShastaStatePark @CAStateParks A5) Particularly around the corner from me is Mt Diablo State Park with many hiking trails & campgrounds along with one of the best vista views in the World. I believe that if it wasn't in California it would be part of the National Park Service. #ParkChat


replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr A5) Mount Cheaha State Park (@ALStateParks) is one close(ish) to Birmingham that I frequently enjoy. #ParkChat


A5: I like Hocking Hills, not quite a day trip but close. Lots of hiking trails and waterfalls in Ohio #ParkChat


replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr @ShastaStatePark @CAStateParks Prairie State Park in #Missouri is a winner in the SW part of the state. Good hiking, a few lakes to fish in and a bison herd. #ParkChat #morebisonplease


replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr @ShastaStatePark @CAStateParks #parkchat A5 we'd be remiss to not mention our hometown gem, @CusterStatePark! Awesome all year long!


replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr @ShastaStatePark @CAStateParks A5. I am currently on my way to Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, by way of a few Ventura County Parks. Both are great park systems and Anza Borrego is one of the most magical places I have visited! #ParkChat


replying to @publiclandlvr @publiclandlvr @ShastaStatePark @CAStateParks A5) We love heading over to @Visit_Amarillo and Palo Duro Canyon @TPWDparks #ParkChat


A5) We put together a list of state parks we recommend during the shutdown! Anza-Borrego Desert State Park and Custer State Park are pretty awesome! #parkchat #travel https://t.co/STG7oOBvZw
