Q1 #ParkChat Have you been directly impacted by the #governmentshutdown or do you know some one that has? One of our sons has- he’s working but not being paid. Have you or someone you know changed their travel plans due to the #shutdown @publiclandlvr @Wild_Tribute

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

A1 Not this one - my dad worked at the VA, so he stayed home in the #GovernmentShutdown of the 90s, but he's retired now #parkchat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @publiclandlvr @Wild_Tribute A1. Yes. DANG IT. My annual trip to Organ Pipe was impacted and now I’m worried about my scheduled trip with my two boys to Joshua Tree will be fouled up. #ParkChat
ParksandPoints
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

A1. Had to cancel a trip to Joshua Tree due to the shutdown. And let me say, I'm so sad for all the park employees out of work. #parkchat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @publiclandlvr @Wild_Tribute A1. I am among the 800,000 furloughed Federal employees without pay. I've been checking in with my furloughed co-workers to keep their spirits up, but its been hard on all of us. Not just the missed pay, but also knowing that our mission is idle while we are all away. #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @publiclandlvr @Wild_Tribute A1. In weighing the pros and cons of an upcoming trip at the end of the month, the possibility of the continuing #shutdown ultimately tilted the scale against me going. #parkchat

replying to @louisbink @louisbink @59NationalParks @publiclandlvr @Wild_Tribute Its not as bad as it looks, I just need to staple the roofing back onto the joists. #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @publiclandlvr @Wild_Tribute A1) I have been fortunate and have not been impacted by the shutdown personally, but know of a few people dealing with the issue. #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @publiclandlvr @Wild_Tribute A1) This is our first #governmentshutdown where we haven't been directly impacted. Hubs changed jobs and they are funded. It's such a stressful time. You worry about food, money, rent, etc. It's heartbreaking. #parkchat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @publiclandlvr @Wild_Tribute A1. I have chosen to stay out of Federal lands until the shutdown ends. I'm using county and state camoing facilities instead. Also, my son is flying this week. I'd prefer the people looking out for his safety were being paid for their work. #ParkChat

replying to @tthrash @tthrash @59NationalParks @Wild_Tribute Are you able to reschedule for later in the year? #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @publiclandlvr @Wild_Tribute A1: The only impact to me is the inability to visit sites I want to travel to. Wanted to visit Waco Mammoth. Even if open I won’t visit a NPS until shutdown ends #ParkChat

A1: I haven't been impacted by the government shutdown nor have I had to change travel plans. I don't know anybody personally affected, but I know some #travelbloggers like @SSCampers have had to adjust plans because of it. #ParkChat

A1 We're fulltime RV travelers, and we stay 95% in federal parks, so it does have us staying in one place at the moment, though some federal campgrounds (Army Corps of Engineers) are open. But it's not a bother compared to what federal employees are going through #ParkChat https://t.co/yrJoTiN8PA
