Since a previous thread was stopped because we, a band of brothers wanting to inform each other and those near to us, to stay up to date with situations that affect all of our livelihoods, I will simply ask if anyone has come across any forest/Blm area closures due to the government shutdown? I am planning to go out this weekend, and have a feeling I may find normally open gates, locked tight with forest closed signs :-(
Anyone encounter this yet?
Anyone in GA, being told they can't go on corpse of engineers property?
Thanks

Seems like you could dredge in Cali with the government shut down as your risk of getting caught is lowered...just saying...not encouraging anyone to break the law. :wink:
