    Hi folks,

    Jumping in to clarify some things…

    Political topics or posts made with the sole purpose of stirring the pot are not allowed. Similarly, posts disparaging another member or group are never appropriate.

    In this case, as this is a community of RVers and outdoor enthusiasts, a political context may be needed when discussing the state of the United States’ National Parks and how that could impact your trip planning.

    That said, I would like to remind you to keep the discussion constructive and respectful.

    As a reminder, here’s more on how to report a post to me or the moderator team:

I think - at least it was this way in the old forum - is that a post can't be specifically political or politically driven. It just so happens in this case that the nature (pardon the pun) of this topic and camping in general for national parks (and maybe state too) is impacted by politics. Some of this is new territory. So, it's a question about camping in national parks and will there be an impact based on what we've seen by government budget cuts and allocating logging in national forests. I haven't seen anyone make any statements about being pro or against a particular candidate or party, nor have I seen anyone being attacked on this forum for a political stance. If you see something different, I guess you'll have to chase that down with the mods. I have seen some conjecture about a continuation of the party etc. which seemed a bit off topic. But this post is not political. It's a post about camping being impacted by government and politics.
