I love the mass defiance going on all across the country. Its even better when combined with the endless ridicule of Obamacare.

If nothing else,, this is one more example and may help illustrate how deeply gubamint intrudes into all facets of life and business.. when they have no business to do so..

other than they are landlords by legislative conquest and land seizure..

all done for the chilrun, of course.

you know the drill

big gubamint breeds big problems.

It appears to be a “selective” shutdown of “concessions”. They shut down the Pisgah Inn because it’s a concession...

But on the National Forest site for NC the camping concessions appear to be open....

In Michigan they’re even closing county roads to “try” and keep people out of Pictured Rocks national lakeshore.

It’ the AVON pier not Avalon. Difference being the Avon pier is on Hatteras Island which is. national seashore. Avalon pier is in Kill Devil Hills N.C. about 15 north of Hatteras.

Sight in at 300 and prepare.

Actually, I'd love to see a show of force storming all of the national parks and Washington memorials at one time. I'm talking millions of people. More than the JBTs can possibly deal with.
