Campgrounds at California's Joshua Tree National Park will close Wednesday as a result of the partial government shutdown, which left the park without sanitation workers to clean and empty pit toilets.
"The park is being forced to take this action for health and safety concerns as vault toilets reach capacity," the National Park Service wrote in a statement. "In addition to human waste in public areas, driving off road and other infractions that damage the resource are becoming a problem.

I knew that Republicans are anal retentive but this is taking things to an extreme.

Unintended consequences, or plunging the country into deep s**t over a campaign pledge. This should distract the masses from the crimes & investigations swirling around the WH.
lack of sanitation is closing camping areas in yosemite, too
Being that I used to live in joshua tree which was next to the joshua tree national park, I never knew the area as anything but an overflowing toilet anyways. Only national park where you can hit the high grounds and watch the meth labs blowing up in the distance, such beutiful scenery.
It's not the cops who find meth labs. It's the firemen who show up to put out the fires they cause, usually in homes, trailers & out buildings.

Because it's a national resource, it's difficult to limit access via price. I guess put a cap on visitors and first come first served, and maybe reservations. Bottom line gotta be less people.
10x the price would probably attract half the people (for 5x profit), but excluding the poor from state or national parks seems wrong.
Why? Where is it a right of poor people to access a national park? Most of the poor don’t even visit anyway. It’s purely a set of private reserves for the Bourgeois anyway
I think the parks should be privatized, make the actual users pay for them

Do you mean that the people of the US, the citizens, shoudn't actually own any of their country except as private property? Maybe one day you and Theodore Roosevelt can have a discussion on the subject.
When Theodore Roosevelt first proposed national parks they were strictly limited. Now the government wants to steal more land and declare a new national park every year,
In what world?
A reason Gore lost was the Clinton admin's lip service to preservation and conservation in a handful of national monuments amounting to a couple acres.
Well they’ve gotten smarter, now they just declare “wilderness” or “wild and scenic rivers” or “national monuments”
Much to the detriment of people who actually live next to this land
The reason gore lost is the same reason Hillary lost. They were both ****ty candidatesIn what world?

Maybe, if CA was not so broke, CA could pitch in and pay these 'non-essential' federal workers to work during their (sure to be) paid vacations. Those functions normally done by contractors, who are otherwise idle and thus unpaid, could also be funded by CA. CA, which has no problem asking for federal assistance during tough times, could return the favor.
When Theodore Roosevelt first proposed national parks they were strictly limited. Now the government wants to steal more land and declare a new national park every year, user fees have not kept up with inflation, the land is poorly managed, and the demographics who visit it are all upper middle income whites who don’t need to be subsidized. If the national parks were devolved o the Forest Service for resource management, logging, mining, hunting, etc there would be plenty of open land for people to go look at a tree and we would save billions

Thank God hardly anyone agrees with you.
