We had planed to head out on the road for a couple of weeks. Trip would take us to Southern Nevada Valley of Fire, places in Arizona, Phoenix , Patagonia Lakes, then into New Mexico Bitsi-Badlands and places between.
We had a discussion for 2 days on "go" - "no go" and decided the risk is too great. The risk is the astronomical amount of people that now have the virus out there spreading it without even know that they are. The wave is spiking and increasing everyday. More hospitals are setting up makeshift rooms to handle the rush but lack the personnel to operate the expansion. California has ordered a lock down situation hoping to slow the numbers and prevent more deaths.
So if one had a unexpected medical need or was involved in a traffic accident while out in rural USA then that puts you at risk not getting the proper necessary care to treat your condition. It also puts a demand on a already fragile medical system.
It is not like back in October when the cases were low and traveling was not risky. So we decided to stay more local until conditions improve or the vaccine is widely available to the public.
We have a trip planned for Yellowstone in winter but will make that decision when the time comes.
If you are traveling and camping please stay safe and be cautious, being respectful of the communities you travel through.
Cheers...
