Yes and we just left. It costs $36/person for a fishing license according to our neighbor, $72 a couple to stay here. The only other pass I could find is a $120 park pass. After some searching I never found that other rate. I tried to find the supposed guy at athe gate but never found him there so we just packed up and left. As for the fishing license there is no where to fish on the site. There is a lake but it is much reduced with a 50 foot white boundary of dead algae and such and with the polluted water warning I think it would be ill advised to eat any fish you caught. We are not big fishermen anyway and didn't bring any fishing gear. It is a beautiful location tho with mountains on three sides. The wind has picked up again. WE moved to South Fork Alpine Trails RV for a week right now. And it's windy here too.

As for the 43 foot class A, there are all sorts of RVs here. I see large fivers and the road in is flat for the most part. So I think you would not have a problem. Maybe half the sites are pull thrus, right now I'd guess the place is 25% occupied. As for the water, it is all shut off. I just heard about the permit and will check on it. One observation, there seems to be no supervision by any officials and yet the place is trash free with no vandalism. On several walk arounds we haven't seen any trash on the ground. The people who insist that campers must be supervised, aka during government shutdowns, should visit this place. Of course it does not seem to be popular with the ORV crowd either.

Right now we are sitting in an amazing boondocking site. San Luis State Park is an semi abandoned Colorado State Park. They close the park but left the gates opened and the POWER on. I see about 12 to 15 people camped out here. They have 30/50 amp pedestals, no water and we passed a dump station on the way in. I'm looking out the window at Great Sand Dunes and the surrounding mountains right now. To find this place proceed to Great Sand Dune NP, about 2.5 miles from the park you'll see a sign pointing off to the left down a road saying San Luis SP. Go down that way several miles and you'll see a sign on the right for the park entrance, the sign is right at the entrance no warning. The road in ia a bit rough but once in the park it is fair paved roads. There is a covered table and fire ring at each site. The place is windy and high desert. Cost = 0 per night. My wife has a couple of bars of ATT. I'll post a couple of photos later if I can get it to work here.

I spent an hour or more texting the visible guy. He finally gave up and is kicking it up stairs to the network folks. So if you need Visible support text don't chat

So Visible e which has worked great until now suddenly lost it's signal. It is a Moto 7. This happened when the battery died. I rebooted X 3, powered off and on, reset the network to factory, and pulled the sim tray and reinserted nothing works. I've been on chat hold with Visible for over an hour, account shows a balance. I texted them too and got an all tech busy . Visible doesn't seem to worry about support. Any suggestions? Thanks BK

Me too, I actually have a or had a FB account under a false name, but I was forced to have one to do something. Don't recall what. Used it once or twice years ago and that was it. They are all run by extreme lefties and I want nothing to do with any of them. My wife is an addict tho,

Finally made our break. Left yesterday for Amity COE in AL got here about 6PM. Drove thru on and off gully washers and frog chokers but seem to have finally left the rain behind. Here until Sunday then off to Doll Mountain COE in north GA then Cumberland Mountain SP in TN. After that, west to CO for boondocking. RVTP really makes finding COE parks so much easier, we have 4 or 5 on our route west. Taking our time, 200-250 miles a day and staying 3 days at most places. Tentative plan right now is up to WY/MT then over to Stanley ID for the Sawtooths. Wanted to stop last year but the weather was awful there so drove thru. Maybe WA/OR depending on whether those states have come to their senses by then. Have to be back in FL for 3 weeks in September so my wife can retire from her job. RVTP has a interesting new beta feature, you can get a link to your route that you can send to people that shows them you location. Supposed to update with changes to the route.

Trap--->pound

Not unless the fiver is outlandishly long, 50 ft or something.

I just saw an announcement that the closure is extended to 6/21. Alaska travelers are allowed at least some of them. Newfoundland is out of reach.

From your own Guru

Here is that table I was looking for from the DHS: Virus survival table

I doubt that any of us have a real idea of conditions in Brazil.

You are assuming a closed system which the US states are not. As I pointed out there was and still is massive influx of people from the infection center of NY to southwest Florida. Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties. If you look at the rest of the state there are fewer cases. Also Miami International is a major airport that brought many people into the area. Just because we have sunlight and humidity doesn't mean that folks get out into the outdoors. Large numbers fell for the lockdown theory and stayed inside where they are 18.6 times more likely to be infected. And lastly the point I am making is that you are much better off outside, camping, hiking, swimming, boating and doing other outdoor activities. Than you are huddled inside shaking with fear. Stress diminishes your immune system. And look at this JP Morgan study of the R transmission factor: JP Morgan study and here the actual JP Morgan page: Very interesting. Note that over the last three days NY has 87 new cases per million and FL 35 , TX 45. And NY has 284 hospitalized per million and FL 22 TX 60. Don't you think it strange that NOT ONE mass media lefty publication has picked up the JP Morgan studies? At least none show in a google search. Also CA has had a relatively mild epidemic and they have plenty of sun and humidity in Southern CA. Even tho LA is a major metropolis. It seems as tho political decision making is more important along with population density in determining the outcome of this plague. NYC made terrible decisions. They failed to shut down the subways or even keep them clean for 119 years. And densely packed subways are just about the perfect transmission mechanism. And they intentionally infected nursing homes. You have to suspect that maybe they wanted to kill off as many of those expensive seniors as possible. There is zero evidence that masks do any good. That is just someones 'idea' with no proof behind it. Show me some actual studies applying to the current population showing that masks prevent infection. We have a name for this sort of thing in engineering: "anal extraction" for a data source. Sorry to be crude.

New York City 190000 cases 16000 dead 6000 in nursing homes. Also Miami-Dade is the number one destination for New Yorkers

They still have lots of sunlight, except the PNW which has very high humidity of course. They also don't have subways that haven't been cleaned in 119 years, and they aren't forcing infected patients into nursing homes. Look at SD and ND almost no cases.

I don't know where you found that in the article that you link to, it barely mentions the word sunlight. The WashPost does a little better: WP And WP does call it a study.

And Ft Detrick did a study on how well the virus survives in the sunlight and open air and found that it survives less than 90 seconds. Ft Detrick is the US Army biological warfare center in MD and is the world expert on this sort of thing.

In the mountain west area: CO: Most seem to be opening at the end of May or early June. San Juan (SW corner of the state) says 'may open ' WY: The same some don't open that early because of snow but generally seem to be open by June MT: Seem to be open weather permitting ID: Seem to be open weather permitting So NF camping and dispersed camping seem to be a go for summer. This is NOT set in concrete tho and I only could spot check campsites.

I'm fairly sure I saw a YouTube video showing someone ripping the under carriage out from under his truck with a winch. And as for 4X4 drive I got some good advice when I got my first one. Use the 4WD High to drive off road, use the 4WD low to get unstuck from using the high then leave at that point. Works well for me.

OK I made reservations starting in early June for a State Park in TN, and then a series of COE CG going west into OK. Waiting there to see what CO does. Our original plans were for boondocking in the CO mountains starting around Pagosa Springs and working north. That got changed by a trip to WY that has now been canceled. If CO does not open up the National Forests and such I guess we will head north into KS, NE (Niobara River) and WY with MT as the target.

I've made reservations in early June for a number of COE parks running west from TN and into OK

I spent a winter in Arco, -41 one night, no wind chill. Never got above freezing for 7 weeks. Froze the battery in my car and froze my roommates tire to the ground in his 4X4 Bronco. We had to chip the ice up to free it. Stores had electrical outlets in the parking lots to plug your tank heater into. Very little snow in Arco tho, it is in the mountain wind shadow. Not a place I would want to spend the winter in an RV barring some very serious winterizing efforts. The area and the people are fantastic tho. I've been told that the valley along Hwy 95 and near the Washington border has somewhat more temperate winters. I think the natives call it 'long valley' long valley

FSP If you scroll down that page you will see a long list parks open for day use right now. I haven't counted them but it appears to be almost every park in the system. Camping may resume on the 20th and cabins on the 30th. They are hiring campground hosts, we talked to one at a local park. They are also extending annual passes for 2 months to make up for the park closings.

Nashville district COE and this reserveamerica site for Defeated Creek in the Nashville district: availability showing they are taking reservations starting 6/1. I checked Fishing Creek too, and it was also showing availability As I said tho I have low confidence in any of this information.
