Buffalo, OG was right, it was only the political portion of the post that should be edited out, as I previously stated. It should be removed as it violates the no politics policy.
As for the remainder of your comments about California, we are each entitled to express our opinions about campgrounds, food prices, gas etc. Everyone's perspective may be helpful for all board participants when traveling to different parts of the country. But the fact remains that the political opinion should be taken out in compliance with the no political discussion polity. Again, thank you in advance for attending to this today. You can use the edit function in "Post Options" at the upper right box for each post. |

Don't believe I have posted this here yet... If I have.. well so be it. I will try not to offend the sensitive.
Traveling during (skip that), travel last year was a challenge to say the least. Entering into 2021 adds it's on challenges with the unspoken (can't say it) climate as of Jan 20th. We all have an inclination of what can happen and awaiting just how far it will be pushed. I'm heading off in a couple days. Have no idea how far we get and what will change as we travel. This is the site I am currently using to check restrictions, then follow up with local info of where I may pass through. http://gds.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=2ec42826968d4d0980ccca0fbbfe0c7c If you Google Covid restrictions by state you will find many sources. Pick one you trust and stay tuned to it as you journey. There are several 'tough 'states that may have to be avoided for possibly some time to come. Research into current restrictions is important. Stay informed! I do hope 2021 is a better travel/camping year even with the new climate coming.. Safe travels!

Well, not to be “sensitive” here but my dad died from Covid back in November. He missed his vaccination by about 8 weeks.
I can assure you that this terrible disease is nothing to take lightly. The dying experience something called agonal breathing, and it’s worse than it sounds. And not being able to be with your loved ones due to isolation protocol is awful. So with great vaccines at least for us older folks immanent, and new highly contagious strains showing up seemingly every day, now is not a great time to take any risks with this thing. We for two are hunkering down until we can get our shots, and looking forward to that light at the end of the tunnel soon. Be safe everyone. |

OG, our condolences for your loss. You are right. Covid is nothing to be flippant about. We have a number of family members who have fallen ill with it and it's no picnic even when you survive. My wife's elderly mother is a constant worry, especially since those around her are some of the one's getting sick.

I agree, COVID is nothing to be flippant about. My wife and I have both had COVID, but it was pretty mild. We're both 60+.
But I'd also rather not have discussions on COVID itself in the Camping Adventures forum. How about Non-pod Discussion Forums? Could you all delete your COVID posts, or edit them down to Rpod content? |

lostagain, thank you. poston, I’m glad your cases were mild. Sadly, that is not the experience for my family and roughly 400,000 others.
Re your request to move or delete my post, I respectfully decline to do so. My post was not in any way political nor AFAIK did it violate any other forum restrictions. It was intended as a sincere expression of concern for the safety of folks in this community potentially increasing their exposure to Covid by undertaking long range camping adventures this winter/spring. So I think it is in an appropriate forum and topic. Of course, we are all (presumably) adults here and can and will make our own risk assessments and choices. |

offgrid, most sincere condolences for the loss of your dad and first best friend. I can think of no better place for a caution about anything that adversely affect Rpod travelers than this forum. This Covid threat is as real as a China bomb or light tongue weight when it comes to moving around in our trailers. And is valid especially when traveling in hot spot areas like WA and CA. As most of us have, I have friends who had CV-19 at all levels from 'mild' to fatal and its nothing to sneeze at. Leave it here.
