14. Free days can still happen I think.

I have spent weeks at a time in Yosemite National Park and I can tell you that there are many days when no one is working the entrance gates to collect fees. Usually its related to air quality (smoke) or some meeting that all park rangers must attend. So, I think that it's possible park employees could just not show up to work the gates on MLK's birthday and Public Lands Day.

I also think the orange assholes birthday could be designated as a day to boycott national parks.

And don't forget that foreigners are going to be paying a boatload of money to get in the parks when they are open so I would expect that visitation may drop a bit next year.
