Government Shutdown Officials Closes Assateague National Seashore; ‘Significant Impact’ Reported

ASSATEAGUE — With the federal government shutting down at midnight, the impact is already being felt at Assateague Island National Seashore, which is now officially closed until further notice.

When the clock struck midnight without any progress on the impasse over the federal spending plan, driven largely by the divide over Obamacare, the federal government began a shutdown as expected early Tuesday. Federal facilities and offices all over the country are closed today, including Assateague Island National Seashore.

Late Monday, with no deal likely, Assateague Island National Seashore (AINS) officials were already planning for the pending shutdown, informing campers and other visitors they would have to leave and closing the barrier islands many facilities. AINS Chief of Interpretation and Education Rachelle Daigneault said late Monday the island began preparations for closure in advance of the pending shutdown.

And now, right before our eyes, "we, the people" are ordered by our masters, not to go on property that WE bought. WE own it. Imagine getting shot and killed for trekking through Yosemite without getting PERMISSION from an armed agent of the government. Keep cheering....
