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.
We camped in Eaglee Lake Campground and all others are open since Memorial Day.
We see a posting that Manzanita in Lassen Volcanic National Park opening June 1 (I have not updated myself if they did).
The posted toilet is definitely within the National Forest as it's the only one between Old Station and Lassen Volcanic National Park entrance. If it's closed for Covid, it would have stated so. Logically, why bother to give another reason?
