The latest on Oregon State Parks

[rhagfo]

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

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.

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?

Time to reactivate the Oregon Border Patrol:

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

That's funny ... imagine eating with the mask on ... 🙂 🙂
New invention: a plastic mini-surgeon's mask on rotator buttons, flip it up, take a bite, flip it down. HAHAHaHa

And, yes, common sense is absent in lots of situations. One size never fits all.

Strange things have/are happening in my opinion.

Close the rv camping in parks but leave the rest areas along interstates open.
Close the hospitals from taking care of the sick and injured but leave the pot shops open for business.

Now the latest crazieness heard today, we will reopen the resturants but people will have to wear a mask and tell who they are and where they live in case someone gets sick later. Really, I don't know what you can eat through a mask, maybe soup but I'm pretty sure you would get it in your ears trying to strain it through your mask.

Our county in Southern Oregon opened its parks to self contained RV's starting yesterday. No restrooms open, no sales of ice, firewood, etc. maintain social dis--- blady blady bla. Ninty space RV park, 4 RV's pretty easy to maintain all the requirements. We sure enjoyed getting the RV out for a couple of days and
not being able to listen to the 6 o'clock doom and gloom show.

Great camping and great weather, we all enjoyed the break.

Per the Reopen Oregon draft.

Customers don't need to wear masks while seated at their table.

It'a draft so it's not set in stone.
