NYT on NPS

There have been some interesting articles recently related to the America's national parks.  Among them:

• Why Are Our Parks So White
• Let's Fix Our Parks, Not Add More
  

And the more worrisome news from today, at least for Cat Herder, is this tidbit from ABC news about the potential for a government shutdown later in 2015.  Let's hope that the infamous, last-minute shutdown of 2013 doesn't repeat itself this year.  It wasn't much fun for a National Parks tour guide, let me tell ya!
