So they’re closing it to overnight camping which has less people than during the day which they are still having the park open? Yep, someone isn’t the brightest!

Not to mention all the lost revenue from the campgrounds.

Of course, we can't say anything about not allowing anybody to look at the lugnuts, so they knew the rough ride was coming...

Or in this case, you can ONLY look at the lug nuts at night because some government official says the nuts can only get lose at night and NEVER get loose in the daytime.

Ya, that makes sense! :R :R :R

You seem to want to limit what I said. Because a disease can spread around the world in a very short time I call a new disease anywhere in the world the loose lugnut. Now the wheel has fell off, the closing and canceling around the country is part of the rough ride.

Government studies have shown that most of the seniors that stay in this park at night grew up in the 60's and 70's. That means they are taught to share joints and bongs and red Solo cups with beer in them at night.

Don't get me started about the "swapping" that goes on at night in this park! :B :B

Here is the government keeping us safe in this park. They are doing a great job!

It's the new age government thinking to keep us safe! :B :B

Wait what???

It says in the article that:

All 35 parks will remain open for day use.

So does that mean the virus only spreads at night? :R Interesting!

I agree - I was trying to find something that would justify halting overnight camping, but so far, I can't. If the parks are still open, people are still sharing restrooms, etc and the staff still has to clean those facilities; plus sell entry passes, etc

Politicians aren't known as deep thinkers.

PA state parks have canceled all planed activities until the end of April.but at this time camping remains open.

While camping seems like social distancing, many campers will use the restrooms, showers and common facilities.

I agree with you but they likely still use them during the day also. I don't see the point of allowing day use only.
