HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT

Post by Tortuga »

The Park Service announced today that Isle Royale National Park will not open for the 2025 season due to significant staff cuts. Rangers will be redistributed to other, more-visited locations and normal service is expected to resume during the 2026 season.

They continue to import wolves to the rock, then implement restrictive measures on how visitors must contain their food as if they are on Kodiak Island sourunded by brown bea4s. Madness

As an old man, as the other Jerry can verify, I had hoped I could make one more trip to this nice place (ISRO NP). I'm not a happy camper. I now hope they don't close down our National Forest and or Corp. of Engineer campgrounds. That would really p... me off!

This was an April fools joke. But I hope the same Jerry!

Edited: I didn’t realize this may actually become a true story if the Ranger gets stuck in port this year due to illegal firings, buyouts and hiring freezes. 2026: Isle Royale National Park, brought to you by PepsiCo.
