Prime Hook, Bombay Hook refuges closed

The federal government shutdown has hit close to home: National Guard members and civilians at Dover Air Force Base have been furloughed and two national wildlife refuges are closed.

Gates are up preventing access to the main entrances of The Coastal Delaware National Wildlife Refuge Complex – Prime Hook and Bombay Hook. While a lapse in funding remains in effect, public access to National Fish and Wildlife Service areas will be prohibited and fish and wildlife management activities and programs will be canceled, said spokesman Al Rizzo. This includes the youth wildfowl hunt scheduled at the refuges on Saturday, Oct. 5.

At Prime Hook, the visitor's center at the end of Turkle Pond Road and several trails are closed, but views of the refuge are still available along Prime Hook and Broadkill roads.

More evil maneuvering. Maybe this is what all that un and fema business was all about. They were getting ready for the backlash from they're childish games.

Illegal as well.

The house passed funding and Obama signed it into law. He is illegally sending these people home for free paid vacations as they will be paid.

Impeach this illegal dictator.

Now, we need permission from them to walk on trails? That we bought? Its a miracle that they haven't closed off the sidewalks around the D.C. area....
