Fall color trip to north country

Can not state about know, but in Mid August there was not a problem traveling those states. We traveled from Missouri to North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin and the U.P. All places where very strict on masks etc. we felt very comfortable up there.

While you are waiting do a Google search for each State of interest.

Better get going, the northern Wisconsin counties are at peak right now, and much of the western and central areas are at 50%.https://www.travelwisconsin.com/fall-color-report

Most of those places are at or near peak colors right now. Parts of Northern Minnesota are past. Mid-October may be too late.

Been watching this and showing first and second week. That is the reason for the pandemic travel inquiry.

Just returned from Muskie fishing in northern Wisconsin. Did not take the Motorhome. Spent one night in a motel en-route then stayed in rented house on lake when we arrived, so don't know about campgrounds. Businesses required face coverings, and the one place we stopped for food was carryout only. No problems

Have a nice time!
We are headed for a COE campground on the Mississippi in southwest Wisconsin a week from tomorrow. Looks like we timed it right.

Do you all think fuel filling is safe on road trips during this pandemic . I am sort of worrying about fuel stations having not doing there cleaning.

We traveled 4500 miles in August from La to the Grand Canyon and then to Rapid City and returning through Ia, Mo and Ar. Had zero problems. Some places required mask and some didn’t. Get some disinfectant wipes and clean your hands after fueling and/or use disposable gloves. Pay at the pump. Got home and rode out Hurricane Sally and still don’t have COVID-19.

That would be the least of my worries. The virus is mostly spread via airborne transmission, which is not a big concern at open-air gas stations where people are pretty decently separated and there's decent airflow. Furthermore, gasoline and diesel fuels are decent solvents for oils and fats, and so should tend to kill the virus fairly effectively. Washing one's hands after pumping gas is always a good idea, and is simple enough to do when traveling in an RV.
