Just read an article in the Washington Post concerning the possible upcoming federal government closedown. If agreement is not reached, the government may shut down "non-essential" operations, including national parks and monuments. During the last shut-down, 368 National Park Service Sites were shuttered for up to 17 days. I know that a lot of camping sites in national parks are run by private concessions and I don't know if a government shut-down would affect their operations, but it would really be a bummer-and-a-half to travel cross-country only to find out Yellowstone has a "closed" sign hung on the gates. Guess we'll just have to keep our collective fingers crossed for good accord.

I remember this from years ago and yes it can happen again. Same trick in the Army. We run out of money so no fuel for trucks or heater in cold Germany. Only good part was they did not shut down the mess halls. The COE parks could fall into this mess as well.
