Campgrounds, boat ramps, other amenities closing just as summer arrives.

Funding cuts to the army corps of engineers hit Americans in the recreational pastimes.

And that's not even taking into consideration the cuts to the national parks service.

These places will likely be opened up to commercial exploitation soon.

I guess it doesn't really matter though, most folks will either be busy working multiple jobs or looking for work soon anyway.

Campgrounds, visitor centers at federal lakes are closing amid Trump's budget cuts

Campgrounds, boat ramps and other facilities in at least 30 locations at federal lakes and reservoirs in six states will be closed or have their hours curtailed as of mid-May

You a big camper??

I see nothing wrong with privatizing boat ramps and such.

Upkeep costs should funded by "pay to play" with the upkeep borne by private owners/users, not the taxpayer.

If you want to launch your bass boat, why should I have to pay for the ramp or it's upkeep?

There's a public boat ramp about 500 yards upriver from my river property and in warm weather it's nothing but a magnet for illegals and other unsavory characters not from my county.

You a big camper??

I'm a happy camper.

And yes, I like to go to the lake when the weather is good.

Cheney lake, to be precise. Got a little cabin cruiser out there that I can't use right now because the water level is too low due to the global warming related drought, but I still go out and camp sometimes, and the water level will come up or I'll move it somewhere else soon.

If you can afford a boat then you can afford ramp fees.

Oh in the Cheney State Park?

It's stored in the marina. Dry. They tell me most of the lake has gotten shallow enough to foul my props.

Lefties didn't mind the entire Country shut down during Biden/Fauci Covid fascism but they exaggerate the effect of federal layoffs during Trump. No surprise here.

Yes.

Lies, you can’t prove global warming is the cause. Cheney is a watershed reservoir subject to varying levels due to releases.

So what private slimeball scum gets to buy the boat ramp?

There's no justifiable reason services in the op should be cut.

How much are we talking about?

By having Democrats take staycations.
