Isle Royale Forums

I was trying to find out if Isle Royale would be closed during the Government shut-down and came here first. Kudos to us, right?

But, since there wasn't anything I went to the hellscape that is Facebook and found this from the official ISRO NPS page:

"Due to the current lapse in federal government appropriations, Isle Royale websites and social media accounts are not being maintained or monitored, except for emergency communications. On Isle Royale, only basic or no visitor services, maintenance, or other management activities will be conducted, and emergency services will be limited"

I was assuming it would be shut down.
Isn't "visitor season" done at this point anyway unless you have your own transportation?
