The Army Corps of Engineers will be able to keep their facilities open during the government shutdown (at least for the near term).  Therefore, Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day will be unaffected.  In fact, FATS is closed during the shutdown, so grab your kid and spend some quality time with them on Bartram Trail.
