Reading the Post Dispatch this morning it has an article in the Metro
section stating that the federal gov. has urged five of the IL state parks
to stay open, since they provided financial assitance to the parks!  It also
said that IL has pushed the closing of the historic sites back between 15
and 30 days and the closing of the parks is now NOV. 31,2008 instead of the
1st of November!

It sounds like you will be arrested for trespassing if you enter a closed
park or facility. I bet caching won't be a good enough excuse.

What will they do with them after they are closed? Lock us away from all
that natural beauty with iron gates???? I'd really like to know.
