Andrew Rossi reports on a situation we wouldn't be dealing with had Kamala Harris been elected President:
The changes at Devils Tower surprised everyone in northeast Wyoming, including Driskill. He believes the decision to close the monument overnight is shortsighted and impractical.
“They don’t have gates,” he said. “The only time Devils Tower has ever been closed in my lifetime was during government shutdowns, and all they did was put barricades at the entrance. It’s always been open 24 hours a day.”
Many people immediately linked the changed hours with the reduction of NPS staff, which was associated with recent actions taken by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) headed by Elon Musk. However, that hasn’t been verified.
Driskill didn’t know if closing Devils Tower overnight was because of current or anticipated staff shortages. Nevertheless, he said it would be “absolutely ridiculous” to close Devils Tower overnight. He also questions whether staffing can be a reason considering the monument is usually unstaffed at night anyway.
