Yes the powers to be have decided we can now safely go back in the Forest.

What a joke out in the forest is probally the safest place to be in Plan-Demic. Your far from anybody unless it's the Squirl, or Deer or maybe the Bear flu.

But now that we missed some of the best ;tent camping season, it's just to dam hot to be out. Been in mid 90's no rain just plain HOT!

Categorical Exclusion Statement Ocala National Forest

March 27, 2020
Project Title: Ocala National Forest Recreation Sites Emergency Closure Order

Project Description: The Ocala National Forest proposes to restrict public recreational activities and opportunities including, but not limited to: hiking, fishing, OHV, bicycling, equestrian activities, picnicking, loitering, paddle-craft, motorized watercraft/airboats, swimming, and camping.

Hunting (as determined by State of Florida laws, permits, and WMA access) may be allowable on a case-by-case basis with valid permits. These prohibitions are to protect the general public and agency employees’ health and safety in accordance with current CDC guidelines for social distancing.

Expiration: JULY 24, 2020. Location: All developed, non-developed, dispersed, and contracted/permitted recreation sites and facilities, including roads and trails on the Ocala National
Forest in Florida.

So it looks like the only place our Government thinks it's safe for us to go or be at is the Grocery Store Where EVERYBODE ELSE GOES.

WHAT IS THE MOTIVE FOR THIS HOAX! We are losing our rights.

Took a ride Monday May 4 through the Ocala National Forest, stopped buy some state park camps. Yep still closed, NF dispersed camp sites closed also. Sign 20 ft up a tree"DUE TO HEALTH CONCERNS AREA IS CLOSED LAW ENFORCMENTBIS PATROLLING" I have camped there many times over the years I have never seen Law Enforcment patrolling there, Lets not get to close to nature.

Well I discovered if you want to camp you must hike in on the trail or travel back some NF Road well into back country. As if camping by nature is not social distancing. It almost like you have to sneek into the woods no to camp! Just crazy insane but I did find some nice spots its been on my agenda anyway to find some very remote sites.

With the Super-Flower-Moon comming on May 7 its going to be the last super moon for 2020. Cant miss this one got nice open spot deep in the woods. Rolling open hills tall pines very spectaular sopt. I'm planning to do my 17th-early 18th century camp setup. What better way very primitive camp deep in the forest.

Looks like Florida is going to end the hoax lock down.
National and state forest opening soon.

Now just tell me how closing the forest is keeping people safe;bash.

Camping is the ultimate in social distancing! No one ever camps next to some one else! Most usually take the site furthest away from others. Not until camp grounds start to fill up, but campgrounds space sites apart.

So I'm going to head out in the woods this week and sleep on the ground in the dirt, soak me up some good germs.:-p no masks no baths just sweat and bug spray.

Closing the World

Well looks like everything is closing.

The beaches are now all closed, no access no fishing threatening to arrest if caught on the beach! Well with food being short in the stores it would be nice to catch some fish.

Campgrounds all closed? Social distancing is the camping way of life! So far the National forest is still open if you walk there parking is shut down. Walk to the forest with backpack hike in the back country looks like only option, possibly may be able to find dispersed, hidden spots.

Just placed order online for groceries first time hope it goes well.
