Campgrounds in Yosemite National Park have been closed amid a foul tide of trash and human waste that is being blamed on the partial federal shutdown. But on Monday, feces and garbage were beginning to overwhelm Yosemite and other national parks. “It’s a free-for-all,” Dakota Snider, 24, who lives and works in the Yosemite Valley, told The Associated Press. Officials have asked visitors to use the bathroom before going to the park and to hang on to their trash. A park spokesperson told the Times the outhouses would remain open unless they become a hazard to human health.
