Feds Shut Down So Does Parkway?

“Just came home on Parkway from Grandfather Mtn and saw a bunch of orange barrels.The service workers say they will have to close the whole parkway if the government shuts down.”

“Lovely. We were planning on using the BRP this weekend. Thanks for the heads up moonshine.”

“I am willing to bet that many places that aren't affected by the shut down will be under orders to shutdown anyway to make the shut down look much worse.”

“I hope they don't.it will hurt a lot of our businesses”

“I'll have to eat dogfood if it happens...

I would imagine politicians wouldn't mind as long as the other side would get the blame.”

“I read an article that said 3000 jobs would be affected if just the gsmnp shut down, let alone the brp. I wonder if they'll shut down 441 through the park.”

“they plan on closing far too many parks...
Yosemite Nationaand a bunch more”

“They'll shut down all the nps, as if that will help their budget woes. The cherry festival will be shut down too.”

“Another Schiavo write wing weekend.”

“441 through SMNP is open but all facilities and road side parking/overlooks are closed”

“OPEN FOR BUSINESS”

“Newfound Gap Road (U.S. 441) would remain open to through traffic only. No stopping or parking along the road or at trailheads & overlooks is permitted, & all restroom facilities would be closed, including those at Sugarlands Visitor Center near Gatlinburg, TN, the Oconaluftee Visitor Center near Cherokee, NC, & Newfound Gap. The Clingmans Dome Road which is accessed off Newfound Gap Road would be closed.”

“so does that mean you can go into the parks for free????”
