And down on these national forest roads are trucks barreling down with full loads of logged timbers on the national forest.
It's not hard to do the math that one of those trucks can. pay for the maintenance of that entire rest stop and the rest rooms.
Bigly sad!
Interesting, I live near Lassen National Park, and all UFSF land on the Lassen National Forest is closed due to COVID. I'm curious why the sign would say due to lack of funds. Which National Forest was that? Lassen NF? or Shasta NF? they both have boundaries near the park. The latest update on opening is through June 11, 2020, so we'll see what happens. They've already extended the closure twice.
Please read the order and you will see that NOT "all Lassen NF land is closed", in fact the closures are for the "land" just some recreation sites. There are some developed recreation sites still open even.
Perhaps the lack of funding signs were posted last fall and then never removed this spring due to covid.
