The latest on Oregon State Parks

Just got this information about Oregon SP.

The state park system will remain closed after May 8. Overnight and other reservations will be automatically cancelled until at least after May 25. We’re working daily on plans to re-open some parks for daytime visits as soon as it’s safe to do it, but we don’t have dates yet. Camping will restart after day-use. It’ll all happen when we can meet health goals and our neighbor communities are ready. When we do start to open, things will be a bit different to protect you, our staff and volunteers, and the park. Stay safe, and see you soon! Visit https://oregonstateparks.org/index.cfm?do=v.dsp_featureArticle&articleId=272 for the latest information as it becomes available. #ORstateparked #stayhomesavelives

    Yeah some people would talk about stashing an early bottling number as a collectors item, but you wouldn’t want to drink it later....

    Some people apparently saved them. Here’s an empty bottling #2 on eBay:

    Too funny. eBay never stops surprising me.

    I think the batch right before #70 was pretty popular too.

    Remember when Henry's used to have bottling batch numbers on their labels? What a great marketing stunt. "Keep drinking, boys, we need to get to the next batch."

    As of today Oregon has started to open some State Parks for day use. You will he asked to keep your distance and there will be reduced parking. Mostly parks and boat launches
    In the valley and eastern Oregon, no parks on the coast or gorge at this time.

    Yep another example of common sense. The virus can only get you between the door and the table, once seated you are perfectly safe so remove your mask and have a great time. ;)



    Let's just make restaurant's a thing of the past along with churches, retail stores you can enter, offices, all of it.

    Everyone can just stay home cowering in fear, working from home. We can all wear hepa rated burlap sacks or surplus Russian gas masks 24/7. The government can supply your every desire. 3 meals on wheels delivered to your door daily by big brother. Everything else can be curbside pickup, or ordered online and delivered.

    We are retired and have steady income, we have been using our stimulus money to eat out more, to see if we can help local small restaurants survive. I can’t wait to be able to go back into a restaurant and enjoy the same food piping hot on a real plate! While the takeout is still tasty cool food is not as tasty as hot!
    The biggest concern with opening parks back up is people traveling from infected areas to those areas with low infection counts.

    And how do you enforce that? Outta state sure, but in state?

    Oregon, Washington, Idaho state parks are currently closed to camping. Rather than rail about it, go where state parks are open, like Montana.
