    The state of Arizona and businesses are picking up the tab for one week, then its anyones guess. I'll bet they would gladly accept any donation you would like contribute.
  • Kind of a waste if folks already canceled their plans, but the thought is well intended.
  • Interesting they only where able to reach a deal for Grand Canyon and not the other National Parks in Az.
  • Link to entire story

    "The Grand Canyon National Park will re-open Saturday under the terms of a deal Gov. Jan Brewer reached late Friday with federal officials.

    The state will pay $651,000, covering a weeks’ worth of costs for re-opening the entire park."
  • Do you have a source for your post?
    I did not think the deal had been finalized with state of Arizona.
