I've been considering some trips for this summer but have been wondering whether it's fine or if it's selfish. Thoughts?
North Maine Woods is now closed to all camping until further notice.
If you decide to go on a trip, dont advertise it on the popular Facebook canoe sites, cause the Social Distance Nazis will pull out all stops to make you look like the worst human in the world. I can walk 200 feet and put my canoe in, and I will be doing it. I wont see anyone on the water, and the world will be relieved of my miserable presence for a while.
A couple of months ago, Kathleen and I booked our June 28 flight out of Yellowknife for a two-week trip out onto the Barren Gounds. We would need to drive through Yukon to reach the NWT. This morning, on the CBC, I read that,
“Any person entering Yukon will be stopped by an enforcement officer, required to fill out an information form detailing travel plans, including details such as phone number and planned stops. Non-residents who must transit through Yukon to Alaska or Northwest Territories or another part of Canada may do so but can only stay in Yukon for no more than 24 hours. Meanwhile, travellers into the territory, including residents, must self isolate for 14 days except for those providing critical services.”
Also, "To limit the spread of COVID-19, visitors are not allowed entry into the N.W.T.," according to the government's website.
The situation is not improving. But June 28 is still a long time away. But......?
i actually wouldn’t mind staying home, and getting our “Victory Garden” planted.
The streets and roads have never been quieter; the sidewalks have never been busier. I see this as a slim silver lining to the very dark coronovirus cloud.
