Moab UT Closed

An article in the Aspen newspaper this morning noted that federal facilities are not subject to closure orders from state or local governments. As of this morning, BLM campsites had not closed. Of course that can change at any time. At Arches, those in the campground are being allowed to complete their current reservation period but no new campers are allowed in the CG.

Canyonlands is in San Juan County and thus outside of the jurisdiction of the Southeast Utah Health Department.

Both parks have closed their visitors centers.

We went out for groceries today here in Glenwood Springs (have to restock on fresh foods every once in a while). Saw several groups of teens hanging out together in different places. Seems like there is more possiblity of transmission betweeen people in those groups vs. people camping in their RV's. Just sayin'.

I was just looking through an article from the Deseret News which said they are coordinating with the Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest Service on coming restrictions on federal lands.

I first heard about via post from freecampsites.net
