(NPS) -- The terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, D.C. have required the park to heighten its level of security throughout the park. Additional law enforcement personnel are being posted at all five entrance stations to the park, and park employees have been alerted to be cognizant of and report any unusual activities, unaccounted for boxes or parcels, or suspicious persons. Law enforcement activities will also be stepped up in other areas of the park, as well. In addition, Yellowstone National Park officials have announced that the GSA sale scheduled for Thursday, September 13, 2001, scheduled to begin at 9 a.m., has been postponed until further notice. Inspections that were scheduled for the day before the sale (Wednesday, September 12) have also been postponed. Because of the additional manpower requirements needed to staff the GSA sale, it has been determined that it would be inappropriate to hold the GSA sale at this time. The sale will be rescheduled at some future date. BACK TO TOP
