Amazing article you cited. I wonder how much money the Park Service is spending to try and keep this business closed? This inn keeper is now toast with the NPS. His concessionaire contract will not be renewed and may be revoked so he might as well go all in along with the local residents who support him. The police line needs to be breached by a large number of peaceful visitors who intend to have lunch, stay in the lodge or whatever. The NPS will reprise so there need to be large numbers just like the left does with their myriad aggrieved demonstrations.
The sheer idiocy of is is that the fedgov receives a portion of his daily proceeds.
