The US government has failed to pass a budget, and is (mostly) shutdown. I'm supposed to be in Yosemite National Park on Sunday, for a week of climbing with the American Alpine Club. I hope this shutdown doesn't last more than a day or two.

:( :( :(

I told you about being in the Canyon backcountry during the round of shutdown stupidity two years ago, right? When we went to bed, I was expecting to spend the next day hiking out with the park rangers...

I don't know if you did or not. Two years ago, IIRC, they didn't quite shutdown, just a lot of brinksmanship.

Glad you didn't have to hike out with the rangers, though.

Hopefully, we'll find some other climbing down there -- there is lots to choose from.

I hope this will be resolved in time for you to take your trip but, honestly, it's not looking good.

Yeah, I know. So, I may end up climbing elsewhere than Yosemite. Sadly. Well, there is lots of other impressive rock down there, too.

Sympathies... I hope this gets sorted out quickly, but...

But... there are backup plans to climb elsewhere in the area...

That's a good idea!
