Just eight rangers were on hand to oversee Joshua Tree’s sprawling 790,636 acres during the shutdown. Spokesman George Land said in a statement this month that the park witnessed “incidents of new roads being created by motorists and the destruction of Joshua trees.”
With the gates open and minimal staffing, some visitors drove their vehicles off roads, graffitied rocks, started illegal campfires and cut down some of the famed trees that lend the park its name.

We got other parks.  Big deal. Enough for more shutdowns.

As an aside two of my more libertarian friends who feel we should have as little government as is possible were just in their glory with the shutdown.  Of course they also claim to love hiking and being in the outdoors and the environment and had very little to say about the detriment to the lands they say they love.
