Post Offices aren't funded directly by the Government, they maintain operations, though they might cut hours and services for the duration.
National Parks will shut down. Which will affect the local economy around those parks.
One of the worst thing about a government shutdown is that people can't use their leave to keep being paid during the furlough, if they have it. They have to go home to figure out how to make up the lost wages.
