And someone smart said they are going to *break* them and sell off the land.

Makes them prime real estate, does it not. ZHaul off the lumber, mine the ground, kill the animals, and make mini estates.

Well, no one ever goes to the Grand Canyon on weekends anyway

In Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona, one entrance lost staffing for three hours Wednesdays through Sundays. Glacier National Park in Montana is now relying on the honor system, asking visitors to pay using a QR code.

My husband and I experienced this at several parks this summer. We had purchased the lifetime senior pass, but when we drove into the parks, there was no one to show our passes to.

I wasn’t able to get my NP pass where planned to visit this summer and was going to instead get it at the Yosemite gate, but nobody was there to collect it - or verify I had purchased a $2, 3-day pass. The NP pass would have been $80.

If he were alive Teddy Roosevelt would be horrified with today’s Republicans. I mean destroying National Parks? WTAF is wrong with these people?

Quiet part out loud: some people in high places want to sell or lease them and everything in the federal land category to the oligarch cabal. Going once, going twice, GONE.

He is not a successful businessman; he is a successful grifter, some might say.
