Another article on Snowbirds, or the lack thereof
Just saw another article on snowbirds and how folk on both ends are trying to cope, both the ones unable to migrate, and the ones who live based on supporting the migration. Snowbirds

I feel for these folks, but I'm not sure that article tells it like it really is.
I agree the article doesn't paint a full picture and there is likely some truth to the idea that it may be geographically distorted by the different rules.
But California, Nevada and New Mexico are smaller secondary snow bird destinations, so not likely to have a huge impact on the major destinations.
We were in Las Vegas and Palm Springs around a month ago. We exited California just prior to the recent increase in restrictions. Before that it was mostly a minor nuisance.
Arizona was slow for the season but largely open. We shot thru New Mexico without stopping as they seemed the most extreme. Currently on the Texas coast.
Snowbird parks do seem slower than normal but other than the Canadian border closure, it's certainly doable.
As far is isolating, we are probably more isolated in the RV than if we stayed at home. Most parks, you reserve, pay and check in by phone. Activities are drastically more limited than normal.
