    I just got back from a four day trip. The National Forest campgrounds with gates were closed. But most of them close for the winter, in October, anyway. The ones without gates had people camping and the restrooms were unlocked. The BLM campgrounds also had campers and open restrooms. The shutdown may have had a positive affect on my fishing. The tailwater I fished has had steady flows ever since the shutdown. No one there to jack the levels around I guess.

    Tailwaters in CO have been changed during the shutdown, but the water isn't usually owned by the Feds even if the dams are, so it did not surprise me.

    I would have had to wait until this weekend to catch this fish instead of last weekend without being furloughed:

    It gave me another moment of clarity. I remembered exactly why I did not vote for him to begin with.

    Mr. Boehner's shutdown has wreaked havoc with a lot of things. Can we drop the politics before this gets ugly? I thought we were more mature than the children running Washington.

    I can think of few acts more selfish than refusing a vaccination.

    Your first sentence causes me to question your maturity.
