Hey Josh, I’ll do it! The wife and kids have bailed on me, so I’m coming solo. I’ll PM you.

Not that I would wish that they would cancel it so you could join us, but if they did, it wouldn’t be all bad!

I’m secretly thinking the same thing. This trip is going to be epic.

Montana will start slowly opening back up here in the next week, I’ll bet other surrounding states will too soon [emoji106]

I’m not so worried about the states opening as I am restrictions on interstate travel (I.e. vacationing) being the limiting factor.

Yeah, that’s my concern as well. We still have 3 months, so hopefully it’s all sorted by then.

I read an article stating they want to slowly start opening Moab back up to get people back to work at the restaurants and such. Due to tourism is the bread maker there! So hopefully a good sign?

Fingers crossed. Too much time and effort into getting ready for this trip for it not to happen!!!

Good point, let’s hope that things will be free flowing once again!

If they outlaw vacations, I guess I will have no choice but to become an outlaw

Interstate travel restrictions won’t stop my trip! Now, if my Jeep isn’t done that may be a different story...

Interstate restrictions?? Where did you see that? I had registered on the DOT states from here to Pa., so that when we drove out I could get notifications regarding closures due to construction. I get texts all the time and have seen NO restrictions because of virus. People still travel for business including all of the tractor trailers. Getting to Moab was never a concern, it was more the hotels and restaurants being closed. And besides there are not enough cops to prevent interstate travel. They could never do it without federal marshall law, and that would be a disaster too.

As it stands right now any travel out of Md requires a 14 day quarantine. Now the issue is it’s not written in the latest executive order. Was only vocalized during the last press conference. However, they start adding language like that within the various state orders then travel becomes a problem. I don’t give a shit about it but the places many of us are renting from may take a different position.
