Dot – It is sad. Unfortunately, a number of other states are taking actions that will impact the parks. Some are closing parks. Others are raising fees or taxes.

teeni – there will still be places to visit. Even though Arizona has closed — or will be — most of its state parks, there are still plenty of places to see and camp in Arizona. I’m sure that also applies to other states as well. We won’t be letting it hamper our travels later in the year.

Nuts. I’m sad to hear this. With the economy the way it is, it is doubtful that many people will be able to leave the country for vacations. I was hoping that TGH and I could take some road trips and see more of the states, which might have included some of those state parks. I know there are still others that will remain open so I guess we will have to do a lot of re-checking before we make our trip plans though.

This is really sad, and I suspect that more will follow unless all the states can fix their economies.

I agree. I think it’s shameful. We were actually thinking of visiting Arizona during next year’s cold season. We’ll be rethinking that idea. Maybe southern New Mexico, instead.

I’m glad Asta wasn’t around to see it happen…it hurts me just to read about it. Thank you for passing this information on.
