An RV Travel blog I follow posted this picture Tuesday. It is one of the entrances to Gettysburg National Park, closed due to the Federal Government shutdown.
Whatever your opinion on the shutdown, if the government is closed for business it is logical to assume that government-run facilities would not be operating. What does not make sense is the number of Park Rangers out in force to chase off visitors, or the fact that the park service even blocked the pull-off areas along the highway skirting the park.
The author said that Rangers patrolled these “Barry-Cades” (his term) chasing anyone who tried to stop away.
In spite of the Rangers’ best efforts, quite a few people visited the battlefield, many treating their tour like a game of hide-and-seek.
