NEWBURYPORT — Pat Vaillancourt went on a trip last week that was intended to showcase some of America’s greatest treasures.

Instead, the Salisbury resident said she and others on her tour bus witnessed an ugly spectacle that made her embarrassed, angry and heartbroken for her country....

For many hours her tour group, which included senior citizen visitors from Japan, Australia, Canada and the United States, were locked in a Yellowstone National Park hotel under armed guard.

Pardon me if the question has been asked and answered already, but...
if there are rangers there in uniform, then in what sense is the park closed?

In the minds of the Democrats in power it is more important to spend money keeping guards at the parks to prevent people from seeing nature than it is to "shutdown" the spending.

CBS in Las Vegas reports that:

"A state highway that runs through the national park was closed after Grand Canyon officials found tourists removing barricades at overlooks along the road."

"Wright says law enforcement will be patrolling the park around the clock. Most other park employees have been furloughed."

“NPS/gov’t workers obeying orders to be ‘ugly’ (first step - what is next?) to their fellow citizens, no real pushback from the sheeple.”

I know those were “old” folks they locked in that building, but I am old, too, and if any pukes like them locked me in a building, I'd find another way out if I had to break windows to do it. There is no way in hell they could keep me locked up. And, if they threatened me with a gun, that would not stop me, either, and that is the truth.
