"We have been working for a week to get back up.

We are up with the Parks Department knowledge and our permitting ranger's thumbs up.

I hope it remains that way.

Genuine shout out and thanks to the ranger we've been working with at the Parks Department.

They are a true believer in free speech in the face of a lot of noise."

Definitely will be indicted for something. Likely 5-10 for "mortgage fraud".
