We took a trip to the Smokies this past week and of course everything was closed and barricaded; they had nearly all the PULLOUTS blocked with traffic cones so you couldn't stop for a photo. I talked to a guy at a local business who told me he had family working for the US Park Service and they had received letters from a certain high ranking politician with official letterhead telling them about the shut down and that they should make things "as painful as possible" for the public. The state owned visitor centers, etc were open.
