Seeing Red (Woods, that is)

[RStar]

Thank you, all. And yes Rob, because of the partial government shutdown they have closed most national parks, woods, beaches, and cemetaries (and put those people out of work). It's costing millions of dollars. The good news is that the senate passed an agreement, and the house is looking at it now. The president is pleased. But I doubt the parks will open soon enough for my trip, but who knows.

I have found some state parks that are open, but I will need to drive 90 minutes out of my way. Oh well, I hear that these state parks are even better, so it will be worth it.
