According to the New York Daily News, Yosemite tourists had even taking to stacking mud on the roadside since all the public toilets are currently closed. That resulted in park officials closing the Hetch Hetchy area as well as Mariposa Grove. Areas within Joshua National Park such as Indian Cove and Lost Horse Mine saw similar closures.

Since the shutdown, employees responsible for cleaning toilets at Joshua Tree and Yosemite National Parks were put on leave and as such, the fecal matter is stacking up higher than our national debt.

Is this really that big of a deal?

It’s not like it’s in the cities and towns where sanitation becomes a concern

Shitting and peeing in nature is what humans used to do

Told y'all shutting down the government for a pointless wall was a shitty idea.

It’s exactly like that episode of King of the Hill when the park didn’t offer services and the hippies didn’t know what to do.

What I don’t understand is on backcountry trails you are supposed to carry everything out. Including your fecal matter.

So why can’t people do the same on these trails?

Stacking mud. I've never heard that before. I think I'll start using that term.

You think that's bad, wait until they shut Government St. down to one lane each way with the "road diet". You talk about a shite show in the street.
