    "It has been increasingly clear that we either will not be able to go or have a civic obligation not to go. I've been holding my reservation until later watching things develop. I do not expect to be able to go next week, but will wait until closer to cancel plans since there is no penalty or benefit to do so earlier.

    At this point, I'm expecting some sort of government enforced domestic travel restrictions or curfews before the end of next week. The response has ramped up every day on the same exponential curve as the infection rate."

    I am struggling with this as well...I feel like its important to our individual health not to completely hole up in our house/apt whatever. At the same time, what concern do we pose to others when we travel and what is our social obligation? I am thinking that if I can find time outside that is essentially alone and somewhat isolated, that is okay. Of course, the Moab situation would not qualify as its where everyone is going...so, maybe its an opportunity to go to 'unknown' places, random places - hopefully where other would not normally go. With everyone looking for activity, maybe it will harder than I think to find places...but even withing a 2 hour drive, you could pretty much park your car anywhere, get out and go for a wander. Bring your own food etc. I think a 4wd trip is good as well - can pretty much go alone. Even when we go as a small group, we pretty much stay in our jeeps and chat on the cb (if you have one) etc...I plan to go for some day trips skiing and mtbing etc - probably even get the jeep out for a nice scenic drive and easy trail etc...I don't know...

    Looks like we can't visit now, at least not if you want to use a hotel. It seems irresponsible to visit when they are clearly asking for people to stay away.

    Seeming like my cancelling our spring break trip on Sunday night was the right thing to do. While not to Moab, similar sizes of small towns were involved.

    As far as local groups, the recommended group size is 10 or less which is a pretty good sized group for a trail run but if things got really bad I think we could still do runs, just might be a little less ha d shaking and a little more chatting on the CB

    Or, I guess if you wanted to go all in on social distancing you could get a Ham radio.

    The 10 or less recommendation is indoors in a small space. Outdoors shouldn't be a problem.

    It an easy trail. I drove it stock with street tires still on my jk. But it has fantastic scenery."

    I drove Hwy 24 and Hwy 12, so I could have done this...... maybe next time! It was incredibly beautiful and I can’t wait to go camping in Utah this summer (and wheeling of course).

    Give a man a fish...
    Teach a man (or daughter) to fish...

    ... and they won't worry as much about empty store shelves.

    My oldest son and his girlfriend drove to Rhode Island last week because her parents have a place there. My wife and I did not like this but he’s an adult and we can’t make him stay home. Obviously we worry about him and wish he was here with us (and our younger son who I picked up from California last week) but they are doing well and laying low. These are crazy times

    Utah already does some illegal stuff like that to try to stop the Devil from crossing the border: https://www.mountainproject.com/foru...ug-checkpoints

    They are so common there is a lawyer that specializes in it: https://utahinterstatedruglawyer.com...-i-70-in-utah/

    They don't officially allow you to bring that either.

    I don’t drink alcohol at all but I smoke a lot of weed and every time I go to Utah I make sure everything is tucked away and there is no sign or smell that could give probable cause for a search. I drive thru Utah fairly often & I have never seen those signs and rarely even see police. Right now it may be different but it’s C19 not weed

    I think when Colorado first became a legal state cops in surrounding states were targeting weed much more but over the years they’ve realized it’s no big deal and I don’t think they target weed that much anymore (at least in Utah). I feel like Moab is more Colorado than Utah in a lot of ways. Texas might be a different story....
