They just closed up the park until further notice. Gates are locked.
Yes, today. As I was finishing my ride the rangers were locking the park down. They said as soon as they get everyone that is there now out the gates are getting locked up. Closed by Governor Murphy. The rangers opinion was it's because of the AT hikers/walkers causing problems at Point Vista and the boardwalk.Pete, have you been there recently?
I'm just thinking that park would be packed with the nice weather at the boating area & such. A necessary decision.
a lot of them close together.What issues could they cause? Besides there being a lot of them close together.
The state site actually says the boardwalk is closed due to an inability to social distance due to the narrow path.Yes, today. As I was finishing my ride the rangers were locking the park down.

Pete, we can just enter from any of the 1000 entrances. I'll be riding probably wildcat later today and then up to split rock
As some of you might know, I ride here EVERY day. With all that's going on I gotta say nothing has changed much for me.
Yeah, I get here early, like 7AM. I usually ride for two hours every day. I see NO difference since all this started. At most, I
will see two or three people in my two hour ride. I have heard that later in the day the crowds come in, I don't know cause
I'm home by then. Many days I see nobody. If I didn't see the TV news I wouldn't even know there is a Pandemic going on.
Too bad for me that I'm supposed to give up my riding routine because the town, county, state, country, world, has this problem going on that I feel very removed from because of my life is so far removed from all of this. On one hand I feel I shouldn't ride the park anymore, on the other hand I feel why not when I never see anyone anyhow. I ride eighty miles a week and literally encounter no more than a handful of people in that week. And that's not close contact, that's just people I can see off in the distance, not on a singletrack. I'm sure nobody else can relate to this because everyone else doesn't live in the boondocks like me. Just venting.
