Maybe YOU were there too.

You planned your vacation around the week, bought expensive photographic equipment to take along, made reservations, endured the excitement as the time grew near. FINALLY.....the first day of October and you are in Yellowstone. You drive along the Madison River and get goosebumps when you see the big bull elk in the middle of the river with the sun rising behind him.

Out of no where, a person in a green uniform approaches you. He informs you that you and everyone must leave the National Park at once. The government has shut down, you have to go....right now.

The stream of car lights that streaked into the park in the pre-dawn hours must now leave.

What?....
