Here, some recommended reading for everybody.  Its a book about a superflu destroying the world.

https://www.amazon.com/Stand-Expanded-Complete-Signet-Stephen/dp/B00BUFO1RM/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?keywords=the+stand+book+stephen+king&qid=1585189148&sr=8-6

Isn’t this a book about Good vs Evil?   :dunno:

Written by a Dbag left wing wacko?

Well yeah, correct on both points.  But its also a book about a superflu.  And despite king being a dbag lefty whacko it is a very good read.  And a very long book, which can pass the time for anybody stuck at home who doesnt want to watch all the stuff on tv created bt dbag lefty whackos.

Agreed.  It’s a great book, takes about 6 years to read, but great non the less.

I just hate giving that tool shed any praise.

Im with ya.  Hes a *censored*.  But has written s lot of great books.  My user name here is from the dark tower series.  I look at it like music.  Most musicians are dbag lefty whackos, but i still enjoy their music, though i may think the musicians suck personally.

To be in alignment with State and federal guidelines relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, effective March 27, 2020, all Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest developed recreation sites are closed until April 8 or until such measures are lifted.

Developed recreation sites now closed include campgrounds, snow parks, restroom facilities, day-use areas, recreation rental facilities including cabins and fire lookouts, and trailheads. In addition, Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest offices are currently conducting public business by phone, email, or through web-based transactions; critical in-person business is being handled by appointment only to minimize person-to-person contact. Lucerne and Fields landing remain open for ferry service.

They can, and do shut down public lands whenever they feel like it. The best one is: Shut Down For Public Safety !

We've given them the power to do whatever they want and it's a absolute BS.
Why do we all need protection? Protection from ourselves?
What happened to our rights to access land designated for public use.

It's wrong and I wish we could take away a lot of the governments power and have them work for us. It's all so corrupt it's frightening.

It's fairly safe to say they aren't going to pick one or two NF to close.

Went out yesterday to find some space to walk in the woods only to find Cap Forrest shut down gates locked.  Such a bummer.

I would invite you guys to my backyard, but we can only get 3 people in there before we would be within 6' of one another.

Yep. Last weekend I believe there was a picture going around of about 10 groups of dumba.... sitting on rattlesnake. I know most of us can and probably do/would keep away from others but the thousands of mouth breathers roaming around acting like this is nothing isn’t going to make this go any faster or easier.

They said I could take a walk! Social distancing!! While hiking on a trail that has a full parking lot where you’re going to pass over a hundred people going up/down ain’t social distancing. You might as well go hang out in Costco/Walmart and cut your losses.

It sucks we’re having to pay the price for it, though.

To align with state and local stay home to save lives measures, trailheads, campgrounds, and day use areas* within the Mt.

Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest.  The closure order is in effect through September 30 unless rescinded earlier.

So theyre closing down the stuff that the normie, non hunting rei maintained hiking trail crowd uses.  Not nat forest in general.  Thats really all thats needed to stop the crowds.  I hunt the nf a lot and never once have i seen some soccer mom and her kids, or some man bun vegan.  They use the maintained trails, areas with parking lots and signs.  I think well be okay, not shut out of nf hunting.
