Just received this e-mail from Glen K., the USFS ranger in charge of the FATS area. Why not just put a lock on the water and restrooms as that's the deciding factors? I know, it's gov, it's never that simple. Also, just curious here, if the gov is shut down, and the FS can't even get into their own offices, who's gonna enforce a shutdown at a site that's not generating revenue?

My understanding (someone please correct me if I'm wrong) is that a DNR officer enforces closures at FATS, not USFS personell. I don't know if those officers would be put on furlough or not. "non-essential" gov't workers are being furloughed, while "essential" workers stay on and continue doing their job.

whats the issue with FATS closing, besides the obvious no ride?
FATS isnt my favorite place to ride, just the closest to the house.

New update, see first post in thread. Son of a gun. FEDERAL CRIME!!!!! TRUST ME Big Brother will be WATCHING. I was referring to The gov putting on the locks, not one of us. As for enforcement, it was a question aimed at a possible redundant absurdity. I wasn't suggesting that anyone ride there if it's closed. It would just seem rather odd to close the place down but not be able to enforce it. Also, having an "essential" worker assigned to enforce it just for the fact that there's a gov funded sh*tter there would be rather ridiculous as well. Hopefully the update that Dustin posted will be the final solution. Seems to be the simplest and most effective solution IMHO.
