ASSATEAGUE — Local residents and visitors can still enjoy the natural beauty and winter solitude at Assateague Island National Seashore during the current federal government shutdown, but there are little or no services available on the barrier island.
The National Park Service (NPS) on Monday reported that during the shutdown of the federal government due to the lapse of appropriations, national parks including Assateague will remain as accessible as possible while still following all applicable laws and procedures. Park roads, boardwalks, trails, beach access and the Over-Sand Vehicle Route (OSV) at AINS will remain accessible to visitors, but emergency and rescue services are limited.
There will be no NPS-provided visitor services at Assateague Island National Seashore including public information, restrooms, trash collection, or facilities and roads maintenance. Because of the federal government shutdown, NPS websites and social media platforms are not being monitored or updated, so the information on the sites may not be accurate and up to date.

When the US government does a "shut down" they always remove the services which directly affect the PEOPLE.
ReplyDeleteThe other things the Federal Government does such as murder people around the world with bombs, murder people around the world with artillery, murder people around the world with drones, so on - those things never shut down.
Asset stripping of 3rd world countries will continue unabated.
Sick person
ReplyDeleteGo back to where you came from. Terrorist
ReplyDelete9:39, You are absolutely right. And don't forget the asset stripping of us US citizens. In addition to, the 'pillaging,raping and sodomizing' the middle class here in the States.
ReplyDeleteWhat shutdown? Just a long weekend for them.
ReplyDeleteGovernment shutdowns are a joke. The government continues to operate. Somebody's pretending that not having an approved budget doesn't mean that we're not borrowing billions by the day whether we're in full operating mode or not.
ReplyDeleteWhen times get hard at home, we first cut back on the "luxuries", like cable TV, dinner out, better beer, nail salons, psychic readings, tattoos and Vegas vacations.
ReplyDeleteOur government should follow our lead.
