Preparing for a state lockdown

[RetiredOne]

Just wait until you see what the Reflex does to the steering when you hit all those crappy patches they do in the roads.

I decided on the Bilstein like I had on my rig prior. It was totally fine for me driving to the ‘House of Mouse’ last year. I never wanted for anything more.

Come to Pa, then head to Philadelphia with your rig. They have a new policy not arrest anyone except for a violent Felony. I doubt that they will stop you for driving a RV when you can rob a store of their TP without going to jail

Pennsylvania closed all their rest stops--were they afraid we were going to steal all the TP from them?

Drove around to warm up everything and then back to the storage unit.

The purpose of the stay at home thing is to limit interaction with other people in close quarters. If your the only one in your RV you are not interacting with anyone. Go drive and enjoy.

Washington State Parks are still open, however; Oregon State Parks are also open, but not accepting new reservations. That said, this is a very fluid situation and conditions are changing daily. Notice from Oregon :

Oregon state parks close on April 2nd. They left them open because of spring break.

Better than getting the Covid 19 virus. Wait until these kids start coming back from the beaches during spring break and start infecting everyone. I am considered an essential worker here in NY. and accordingly have to report to work. (Hydroelectric Powerhouse Generation)...Stay safe and wash,wash, wash,

[WeRJuliian]

Six students at University of Tampa came back from break and tested positive. One is said to have been " travelling overseas"...

Guess the state didn't take the social distancing protocols seriously! Coupled with what's been on the news about spring break on the southern beaches.........I think you guys will see some serious infection and death rates.

It was reported that one spring break kid infects 2 of his friends, those two infect 2 more and so on...........10 million in a 2 weeks with the possibility in the following weeks for 1.5 million deaths!

Reality is coming home to us here in North America very quickly. According to this - https://www.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashb...23467b48e9ecf6, the US now has more confirmed cases than Spain and the State of NY is 8th in terms of deaths and Washington State is 10th. We are about a week or so behind Western Europe. Hopefully we can slow this thing down so that we don't overtax the health system.

Washington State Parks now closed until April 30. Will probably be extended.

Welcome to the group of "Essential Workers"!!! Not that I am sure that it is a good or bad thing so far....

I wish more people understood this. Don't want to get political but Amen!

I was one of those “essentials” for 25 years. I’m glad some younger ones are keeping the communications working!

I wish I could camp in the driveway, dealer has our 5er for repairs and is now closed. Wife and I are both essential employees , her a nurse and me DOT. Still have the fire ring in back yard so can pretend.

[Rustynuts]

Oregon state parks are closed down starting 3/23.

We are by the Oregon Dunes recreation area and all the private campgrounds are packed! I just saw a post saying they are closing down the Dunes area but trying to confirm it.

Wow... that could be a heads up for anyone who's rig is currently sitting at the dealer, and the state is talking about shutting down. These shutdowns will last weeks into possibly months. Wonder if it would be a good idea to go retrieve your rigs and get them back into your possession.

Who knows if the dealer can survive the shutdown and closes up. It would then be a MAJOR pain to get your rig back...

[RSerendipity]

Well some States are acting on this in a Positive way. Missouri, Maine, & Arkansas opened up Fishing without a License for the next few weeks. Helps keep some Sanity

[Lake Huron]

Michigan is now free entry into parks and open campgrounds. No pass required. Too bad most all of them are still closed because it's still winter. Lol!

[TCNashville]

Although Indiana is on lockdown, campgrounds are open and driving to them is permitted.
