Daily News ^ | Jan 1, 2018

Parts of California’s Yosemite National Park were forced to close after visitors began using the side of the road as a toilet. Bathrooms in the park haven’t been open since the partial shutdown of the federal government began on Dec. 22.

Hetch Hetchy and Mariposa Grove were among the areas that closed “due to lack of restrooms and resulting impacts from human waste,” the park announced Sunday.

Are they sure it isn’t just visitors from San Francisco?

Exactly something the insufferable, robotic “Merry Pranksters” of the new left would do to make Orange Man look bad.

Could have been anybody, but my bet is most were Democrats who wanted somebody somewhere to have a hard time as consequence of the Govt. Shutdown.
They probably took selfies of themselves while ‘seeking relief’. “We sure showed those republicans, didn’t we?”

Very likely.

This is happening in multiple parks.

“Tell me again how this happened, Mr. Wilderness.”

“Well, I had to go, and the bathrooms were closed, so I just growled one out on the side of the road. I reached behind me to grab some grass to wipe with, and I guess this porcupine must have been drawn to all the commotion, so I grabbed him by mistake and wiped with him. Vengeful animals them porcupines.”

If you’re going, to San Francisco,
Be sure to poop, on the sidewalks there,
If you’re going to San Francisco,
You’re gonna meet some crappy people there...

Pure stupidity, has to be making a conscious decision to be a complete ASS, no pun intended.

Do you think people didn’t use the bathrooms when they were open?
Seems like a fairly predictable consequence of closing the bathrooms and still letting people in the parks.

The bears are big enough to rip the doors off of a locked restroom
so they weren’t affected by the closure.

Some 50 years ago, my Dad took me fishing in a national forest in Colorado. It was the first time I’d ever worn waders and it was one of the few times I was able to have quality time with my dad as a teen apart from my brothers and sisters. I actually caught two small fish and my dad had me throw them back.

Eventually, I needed to poop and I told my dad. He said to just pick a spot and go. I’m like “But where”? “Anywhere”, he said. “You mean just on the ground?”, I stammered. “Yeah,” he said.

There were no trees nearby so I was just out in the open with nobody around except my dad and his fishing friend. So, I lowered the waders and dropped trou and did it right there in the open. It felt weird.

But it was over and done and I said “Now I know how bears feel”. Humans probably did this for thousands of years before plumbing was invented.

Doing it on the road is likely a political stunt. Even without facilities, most people would normally look for a semi-private spot to do their business.

Heck San Francisco streets are full of human excrement while the government was not even shut-down.
