I agree, Bob.
'Bob Hitchcock is in his “least favorite place” these days
— inside his landlocked Las Vegas home instead of at his cabin on the
North Shore of Lake Mead, tooling around with old engines in his garage.
He’s one of an estimated 60 families with vacation homes along the
lake who were given notice by the National Park Service earlier this
week to gather their stuff and leave, according to Christie Vanover, a
spokeswoman for the Lake Mead Recreational Area.
The homes — from Stewart’s Point on the north to Katherine’s Landing and Temple Bar on the south — sit on federal land.
As a result, the federal government shutdown left Hitchcock just 24
hours to evacuate his two-bedroom, two bath cabin in Stewart’s Point,
about 70 miles northeast of Las Vegas.
Although Vanover couldn’t put an exact number on how many residents
were actually living in their vacation homes at the time of the
government’s closure, she wanted to make one thing clear: “They are all
vacation homes and everybody who lives in them are considered visitors,”
she said. “If anybody needs to gather their personal belongings, we’re
not going to deny them access. They can go do that. They just can’t
spend the nights there or have barbecues during the day.
“They need to get in and get out.”
