Is it worth making plans for a vacation in the Fall...? Is it worth making plans for fucking JUNE...?

At this point I wonder if I will be able to just do a roadtrip or go to a goddamn National Park...

I have time off of school and would like to enjoy it if possible, but then again, I could be busy building a bunker by then?

If going to a park gets you through this do it. There are businesses that are open and depend on tourists. I had a dog who was recovering from tetanus and his joy was going to the Blue Ridge. Don’t let him take your joy.

I won't fly.
I might take Amtrak or drive within blue states.

Go all the way across through Flagstaff to Albuquerque. And then get off and drive North from Taos up through the wilderness into Denver and then catch the train back into Reno..
But we'll have to see what happens in the next few weeks 😔😞

Taos is very high altitude! I hope you adjust better than I did.

I can drive to Canada but now has the orange turd made it more difficult to even visit anymore? We enjoy the outdors and immersing in Canadian culture, but that might be soon a pipe dream.

Then we like to take cruises leaving from Vancouver, mostly to Alaska. Spouse is already worried we will have problems getting there regardless of the transportation mode.
