Is it time to trip

Keep in mind that we are ALL being asked to stay isolated if possible and to maintain social distancing. The ALL includes government employees that work at the various offices, parks, and recreation areas. Altho this may be a major inconvenience for some of us it may be the best way to limit this whole pandemic to a few weeks instead of many months. Don't be too critical of the lack of private and government services available since the people that work at those places also have families that they care about. If you can be self sufficient and isolated, great.

^^^^ Best post so far. And yes I am a physician seeing cases of Covid in our city. Considering most on this forum are "older", you take your chances boondocking in the middle of nowhere. 24h from "cold symptoms" to being on a respirator.

All the CEO parks in Florida are closed now. I had reservations for April 18th for Ortona South and I just received an email they would be closed through April 30th.

Wonderful. And the government probably won't give me a dime of all the free money they are passing out. Plus, if there is a COE campground open they won't give me the senior discount because they won't sell me the senior pass during this crisis. No help for those who need it most; the seniors who can't get hired any more.

Is it this the time to trip low traffic, low fuel costs, no virus. :)

It would not be recommended to travel among others if from a state with high coronavirus contamination such as WA, CA, NY, et. al. areas; regardless the low prices to travel. We already have a patient in out area that travel from WA where they contacted the virus. The purpose of limiting travel, gatherings and social distancing is to stop the spread of the virus until there is someway to medically treat it.

Our area is closed to all outsiders except property owners and necessary employees and insiders are limited in travel also.

Those who would risk spreading a serious and deadly virus among the population for the love of pleasure and travel need to rethink their priorities.

WHEN we don't already have it how would we catch it while are traveling in the coach. truck stop re-fuel is a very limited exposure

I just read an article that all the coronavirus cases in our state, so far, have been associated with travel. I wonder if others thought the same as you. Perhaps they were the carriers and did not know it.

The moho allows us to be pretty isolated
I imagine most RV parks would rather I check in over the phone with a credit
card anyway .
The Walmarts around here you can go on line order groceries and they will
put them in your car . I think most grocery stores do that now .
With a TDS card I can pay at the pump with a whopping truckers discount
The thing I would be concerned about is getting stuck somewhere by a travel ban
However I've got way to much to do here to go anywhere right now .

As long as you observe social separation then it does not matter where you come from. If you pull into a campground and expect a hug or a handshake you will likely be very disappointed! If you make reservations at a campground and you are socially responsible you will be able to stay clear of others and you will be in the BEST possible location to avoid cross-contamination. Open air spaces are the 2nd best place to be, 2nd only to complete isolation. Keep your distance, light a fire and enjoy life the way it was meant to be enjoyed!
Camp on!

Although limited, it just takes one. Our town so far is OK. But the state has many. Most of them as they stated were moving around getting food and stuff. Its your call, but check the states you are going to visit and see what there rules are. They seem to be changing every day.

So! how do you know we don't have it already? it has a 2 week incubator period.

Add plus to the 2 weeks. Some get it fast others longer than 2. Again its your call. For our state all malls are closed, but food is open for a certain time per your age and address. UPdate for the total was 1500 more than yesterday. A lot of younger 20 years old seem to be getting it. As stated check your states you plan to visit. Things seem to be changing every day.

I would not plan on any government operated park to remain open; local, state, federal, or COE. Just got an email that my reservation at a COE has been canceled as they are closed until further notice.

Do you mind telling us what COE campground cancelled? I'm at a COE in Arkansas for one night: Pendleton Bend. They weren't sure how long they would be open, but they wouldn't sell me a senior pass because of the new rules. I can't catch a break. I was a year late for the $10 pass and now they won't let me have my discount at all. Typical.

Those who promote no traveling haven't spent a summer in the Valley of the Sun...:B.....Dennis

Having lived here since 1984, I have spent plenty of summers in the Valley of the Sun. It's home for us. We love it. Although, we are looking forward to the snowbirds leaving once again. :)
We usually do take a trip for a few weeks here and there, but have cancelled our travel plans for this summer. Considering the Corona virus, and my 85/86 year old parents....we will most likely stay pretty close to home.
