I'm pretty sure that it is inaccurate to refer to the National Parks Service as
part of the Government (although I confess I am not well up on the way it is
connected). It is part of what we call the Civil Service (in the UK) or a
"QUANGO" (quasi non-governmental organisation, the non- is sometimes omitted
;-)). Quangos in this country are indeed run much of the time by Government
placemen, but I wonder if the National Parks Service would be the same, or
merely a well-meaning but generally inefficient organisation whose mission has
been lost or outdated: it no longer understands its customers. Does this fit?

Most people who go in season do it because they have to... my 2 sons are at
school and I cannot take holidays with them during term time - all right, I
won't take them out of school. And I cannot afford to do 2 big holidays in a
year.
