National Park Service (NPS) rangers removed the handles from some 40 public water pumps and closed restrooms in the 184.5 mile- C&O Canal National Historical Park, but they havent been able to keep hikers and bikers off the popular trail known as a cyclists dream.
Its full every day, said Gail Hall, who runs Mountain Side Bikes at the trailhead in Cumberland, Md. Theyre bringing in their own water and utilizing the tree-lined areas [of the park] for restrooms. Some towns like Harpers Ferry even brought in potties to accommodate them. As long as they can pedal, they dont care.

That should be easy enough to fix. "Make it as painful as you can".

If 100,000 little minded federal employees think they can be clever in making life as painful as possible, imagine say 150,000,000 pissed off peasants can come up with to reciprocate the favor.

vice grips? Next they’ll remove the pumps completely and cap the wells. So, how long will it take to put everything back together once the “shutdown” ends? Longer than it took to lock everything up no doubt.

I thought this had been debunked as normal “winterizing” procedure in the parks... no?

It's just petty and mean.
If they were truly shut down, they should have none nothing, instead they opted for active sabotage of public property.
What's the penalty for wanton vandalism and conspiracy to commit vandalism?

Right behind you ;-)
Bringing your own water, what a concept. Before long bikes will have little holsters for water bottles ;-)

The funny thing is - the demand is coming from all the furloughed Federal workers who live in the area and now have plenty of time to get outside and ride bikes.

Bikers are typically liberal. So, Obama is out there pissing off liberals. He's cutting off his nose to spite his face.
