We are in Maine, near Acadia for the next 3 weeks. I have read that if congress doesn't pass the budget by 9/30, the National Parks will close. Whatever happens in DC, it will be last minute. Is anyone changing their travel plans? No political comments needed, just curious if the uncertainty of the National Parks being open is causing you to reschedule or change your plans.
Don't worry about it. If they close they won't be closed forever, just temporarily. Some National Parks would be shut down for a year or more because of natural calamities. This budget blip is less of a problem than that.
My advice is to turn off the political news, keep an eye on the weather and enjoy your travels and loved ones. There's plenty of places to stay until the politicians sort it.
