On the last day of Allie and Corey's visit, we drove to Sabino Canyon Recreation Area for a short hike. I wasn't sure what to expect with the the federal government shutdown. The private concessions were open. The bathrooms were open. The visitor's center was closed. The Forest Service website for Sabino Canyon directly blames the "Radical Left Democrats." A violation of the Hatch Act? I think so.
We didn't let this political bias by certain federal officials affect our ability to enjoy a beautiful day for hiking. Public lands are for all who reside and visit here.
Allie picked out the Sabino Walkway Loop as the trail for the day. The trail was only 2.3 miles but still presented some rocky terrain with challenging ups and downs.
We got a bit of a late start so we were all pretty thirsty by the end of the trail. A trip to Pueblo Vida Brewery in Tucson cured that problem.

The Daughter lives over on that side of town and often walks the dogs in her charge up in those canyons, except in summer when she takes them up to Mt. Lemmon.
And you're right, it sure does look like the USDA is violating the Hatch Act with that partisan, inflammatory, and misleading statement on a government web site. Unfortunately the OSC makes it virtually imposible to file a complaint since the individual violator's name is a required field on the complaint form which will be rejected without it and how the hell are we supposed to know who authored it?!
Apparently you can file against an individual but not an agency.
