The wife and I were talking about doing Yellowstone this year. We may wait and see how things go. However any one else notice the crude oil price drop to $35 a barrel? Sounds like fuel prices may be dropping. That will mean more trips this year.

I think they just hit 31. I’m not too sure how many shale oil and oil sands projects can continue to run at those numbers. I think break even is around 44 bucks a barrel. I hate to see people lose their jobs. Ugh.

It will go back up. it always does. Let one refinery go off line for an hour, and the price will skyrocket.

No plans to cancel any RV trips.... I wouldn't go on a cruise right now. Mainly because I don't want to be stuck in quarantine on a ship anchored off the coast. I'm flying in a few weeks and am not too worried.

The virus definitely has my attention but I put little faith in the government's ability to help much or the news media to accurately report things. Keep in mind this is just another in the long list of things that were supposed to kill us all. I suppose eventually one of these things may do the job but I'm going to live my life until it happens.

Yep Yep.

No cancellations here. Safest place possible is out in the woods in the camper.

Years ago I went to a professional convention but stayed in my camper at a nearby campground. Blew through a grocery store on the way which I’m pretty sure is where I caught norovirus (which has a 12 - 24 hr incubation period). Spent the convention entirety in the camper being sick as a dog. The camper was perfect: toilet was close by, well stocked with drinks and well isolated to prevent spread to others. Nobody nearby to infect me with any other pathogens.

We’re planning several camping trips this year. Worst risk is that (expletive) grocery store, not the drive or the camping. And we gotta do the grocery store anyway, no matter what we do.

We are heading out tomorrow to an Arkansas state park for a week.:)

I cancelled my business trip to Pittsburgh for this week... Didn't want to spend 3 days in a convention center shaking hands..

Truth be told, I really didn't want to go, but used this as an excuse ! :C

As far as camping plans . . . FULL STEAM AHEAD for us... once mid April hits, we are not and heavy rolling..

Travel as per normal. Don't do ships anyway. Planes are part of commute to pick up & after RV drop off so they are a necessity.

Got 11 comped days at the casino next month. Still going. What's the worse that can happen? Quarantined in a casino for a few weeks.:B

We cancelled an April Vegas trip. May go camping instead.

I figure I'm going to get it. I just don't want to get it before I am home. I don't want to be dependent on the kindness of strangers. And I want to be able to take care of my family when they get it.
