Blackwater NWR is closed

[StickerLT]

Don't know if any here were planning a hunt at Blackwater, but Blackwater NWR in Dorchester Co. MD is closed until further notice due to the staff being furloughed.

Apparently employees at Blackwater worked to secure buildings, posting in parking lots and alerting all archery hunters in the woods to go home.

MOM doesn't have the desire to assist citizens in liberty and rights that Walker has.
That's what separates leaders from rulers.

Wonder what the gov in Florida will do:

Just before the weekend, the National Park Service informed charter boat captains in Florida that the Florida Bay was "closed" due to the shutdown. Until government funding is restored, the fishing boats are prohibited from taking anglers into 1,100 square-miles of open ocean. Fishing is also prohibited at Biscayne National Park during the shutdown.

How can we walk in a forest or sail the bay without government?

Those charter captains might say screw you and go out anyway. I hope that a lot of them do. What are the rulers going to do, bust a bunch of guys making a living??

C&O Canal parking lot in Williamsport is closed. Don't know if they tried blocking access to some of the boat ramps.

I'm wondering about that, the City of Williamsport maintains the ramp and I'm feeling the need for speed.
