I found it interesting that some of the big name ski slopes, etc., with big money available for the purpose, were able to be excluded from the shutdown. I guess some are "more equal than others"?
In any case, for any of us who have plans to go to the more tourist-oriented national parks, there is possibly a chance yet to complete the plans - some States (etc.?) will be permitted to re-open the parks (camping areas?) with use of State funds to pay the costs of operation.
