Groton if they're still building subs/boats down there.

This is a worthwhile visit if you're already in the Groton area...

I'd be interested in your explanation of calling a $36Trillion debt, growing by $10 Billion daily , a small inefficiency, blown out of proportion....

Honest question...do you read your own posts?

If we ever lose reserve currency we're screwed.

DOGE hopes to keep it to 40T.

Like a little yip dog, but padding their own bank accounts while beating their chest.

Dumb.
Very!

I've been following Parks we plan to visit in 3-4 months. Still lots of uncertainty mixed in with (already) announced closures and decreased services.

Devils Tower National Monument now closes every day at 5PM. Was always open 24 hrs. Sunset is now after 7PM, and in the summer 8:15-9PM

The iconic destination cut its hours from around the clock to daytime only. Monument staff didn’t say if DOGE actions are behind the change.

Chaos? Crowds? Understaffed? Long lines at entrances? Full parking lots?

Sounds pretty normal to me.

A lot of them are timed entry now where you sign up for a time to enter and if you aren't there tough luck.

My wife will then have visited all 50 states after this trip. Growing up on a farm I didn't do any traveling growing up, so I have a few left. After this trip I think I will be at 47, needing Idaho, Oregon, and New Mexico.

My wife got her 50th state (ND) about 3 years ago. I think I'm at 48...missing Delaware and Maryland.

I remember reading somewhere that revenues from national parks are almost 10 times the operating costs. Something like 55 billion vs 5 billion.

Anyone know if that's true?

I read that sometime last summer too, but pretty sure the $55 billion number was the total economic impact, not just the specific park revenues.

North Dakota is so often everyone's 50th state that they give away free certificates and T-shirts in Fargo

I was pleasantly surprised at it's beauty, probably because my expectations were very low. Theodore Roosevelt NP was beautiful. We were up there when there were fields of gold.... wheat.
