Civil Disobedience at Acadia
The feeling here is that is a people's Park, given to the US as a gift from Bat Harbor Citizens. I neither advocate or disagree, just report: A walk in the Park

Agree. However, I do agree that it's OUR property as we pay the taxes that support the parks, but it's a matter of semantics.
I believe, and defended my right to say it plenty of years ago, the parks belong to the people of the USA. And the 'rules' that close them don't mean anything to me because I also believe the rules are not legal. BUT, the gates make it impossible to enter the parks.
We're heading down H-395 in CA - there are plenty of parks here, but no state parks. We therefore, had to stay in hotels and are 3000 miles from home. We have full intentions of sending the bills for these hotels to our representative, so he can pay for the difference between the $8 camping fee, and the $150 hotel fee for eight days. Yes, I know, won't pay it, probably, but it will make a statement.
