Like suppose the state shut down certain highways or buildings for certain periods of time, like overnight. Or for one day out of 5 for buildings. That could reduce law enforcement or energy use.

In fact, the US Postal service is sort of headed that direction if they cull one day per week from the delivery of mail.

Back to the parks, they sure don’t have that situation under control.

In addition, the park camping was raised to $35 per night. In my case, I now stay in clean $50 motel instead, since its only a difference of $15 which I recover anyway by not towing my trailer.

And that leaves more hiking and exploring time since I don’t need to set up or tear down camp in the middle of the day.

At least in my case (and others I talked to) that decision brought a loss of revenue. It would be no surprise if they just broke-even on the decision. Although at the expense of building an expensive reputation which can backfire in the future.
