National Parks definitely need more money

Staffing levels are getting ridiculous.

Yesterday, before I flew out here to California, I called Yosemite's main number, trying to get to talk to a ranger about trail conditions in general and, in particular, if the cables to the summit of Half Dome had, perhaps, been set up a week or two earlier than is normal, due to the generally dry to very dry Californian winter.

Went through the phone menu... got the "talk to a ranger" option.
And, after 8-10 rings, and no pick-up,sent back to the main menu.
