Are there many people from California on here?
Some may know, but as a measure to reduce the budget deficit, California is considering closing 220 state parks. This would, I think, be devastating to outdoors enthusiasts in the state. Sure, there are nationals parks and regional/county parks. But to just up and cut funding for 220 state parks would sure put a dent in the outdoor locales I visit.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
I must also say that I'm a reporter at a newspaper in norther California in addition to being an outdoors nut. I'm working on a story about this situation. I joined OB.com as a possible way to meet other campers/hikers/etc. in the NorCal area to gauge people's opinions on the matter.
Thanks for any thoughts you may have.
