Yes to a degree outdoors activities are permitted right now but I see it being shot lived. State parks are now closed to public.
I heard someone got turned away from a state boat launch yesterday.
What's happening right now is the catskills and to a smaller degree in the adks so far is that people are flocking to those areas in extremely large numbers.
People without large yards and rely on close social interaction have no other ideas but to think free public access like hikes and trails are good things because its outdoors.
I do forsee something coming that will severely close all public and state property being closed soon.

I got lots of things to do here and most all my supplies now on hand.
I highly doubt my chicken shipment will happen as the post offices may get shutdown soon too.
Maybe later today we will catch some schoolie stripes. Not reccomend nor legal to eat right now as season is closed here and probably resident fish, not yet the ocean run.
Speaking of which, time to fire up the log splitter

Not sure how all yall state/local parks and such operate but I know some states still use maintenance crews and provide security and lets not forget the dedicated fish & game law enforcement folks.

No doubt these services are no longer available or cut back to a skeleton crew.

While we might follow the safety rules and laws there are many that do not. One screw up requiring help could cause a response from scores of emergency personnel.

Unfortunately, there is good chance some slob(s) will take advantage of the situation and be out there poaching & snagging.

Just my thinking for closing parks and such.

Be safe, stay well, better days are coming.

These are the catskills and adks yesterday.
Last picture is my back yard this morning. The deer are obviously not doing social distance.

Sadly, many people have nowhere else to go to release and feel the public lands of outdoors are a way. Unfortunately, those lands and places are getting huge amounts of congregation. It's only a matter of time before our public lands get locked down too.
We have a long road ahead before things take the turn.
My livestock shipments are all on hold right now. Not really a problem yet but if it becomes canceled indefinitely then it can be an issue. I won't pay a higher inflated costs for store bought foods that are to come.
Now I'm heading out with chainsaw to gather some free wood we found yesterday.

Its strange how in those pictures I see no working man trucks. Only cars and the like.
I might just become a fool around in places all the fools are forced to leave. While I found gold and bronze today, I hope to find chrome soon

So I got to leave work early so I ran up to the river. I practiced true social distancing with the nearest person 200 plus feet away, most of the time farther. I was unlucky with the hook ups and catch for 3 hours with no takers. I did gather about a dozen and a half of new flies and about 8 ounces of lead shot so all was not lost. It was cold and windy

Despite the lack of hook ups it sounds like it was a great get-away!  I know after a long shift I would love to have that opportunity within driving distance to decompress for a while...

Fisherlady if anyone deserves the right to 'decompress' it's you, and the people like you, who are working 'the front lines'.

Be safe, be well, God bless.
