National Park Service St. John - furlough
National Park Service St. John - furlough
Any idea of the impact of the Govt furlough on the St. John NPS properties? They can't really "close" the beaches right? But I'm guessing no concessions, no guards?

I found this on a different message board.
Following is the response I received from someone at the Virgin Islands National park website when I asked the question there:
Please note that all park facilities will be closed if there is a shutdown. Whereas open spaces cannot physically be closed off, there would be no assistance and support available.
Thanks much,

So, restrooms and showers will be locked, snack bar and gift shop closed.
That will make Trunk seem like the other beaches! How nice of them!
