Anyone been to a National Park lately?

When we were there in June we were told that the Murie Education Center would be closed the entire season.

Sleeping Bear Nat’l Park/Lakeshore - no one was manning the entrance booth where they charge entrance fees. We have a senior nat’l park pass, but it has been our observation in the past that most people need to stop and pay and are not waved through because of a pass.

Just back from Acadia. I can’t speak to the back of the house operations, but from a visitor perspective, the level of services and facility maintenance seemed fine. We were there midweek, which seemed like a quieter time (though our campground was full). Perhaps on a busier day the cuts would be more apparent.

Not that it needs to be said here, but I’ll say it anyway. Our national parks are a treasure that should be protected, funded and maintained. :frowning:
