Government Shutdown

[Shawn]

Do you still hike on federal public land during the government shutdown?

Some people won't because they say it's not fair on returning workers.

How do you feel about this situation?

I haven't during this shutdown, but it won't stop me if I get the opportunity to go unless they officially close an area. I understand that there won't be the services at some places that there are normally. I can even understand that some popular spots may be closed completely due to safety and sanitation concerns. I'm not likely to go to any of those places right now anyway, but I do sympathize with people who had plans that were affected and also for the workers who are furloughed.

I agree.

If anything though, I'll go out to the popular spots (if open) and collect any litter to help out while workers can't get out there.
