Anyone know if Winchester Bay will be closed due to Corona?

[Ducman]

Sup Ya'll?  It's been a good while since I've made any posts in BHQ, sorry for my absence.  Does anyone have any info on the Oregon dune riding areas?  Will they stay open?  We have MiCasa reserved for 5 days in early May at Winchester Bay.  I'm hoping we don't have to cancel our trip due to the dune riding area closure.  We'll make sure we ride at least 6 feet apart for social distancing unless we're drag racing up Banshee hill, then all bets are off.  I'm pretty sure the alcohol will poison my liver and kill me before the corona does anyway.

 

I figured I'd ask, since I just heard that they are closing Sand Mountain in NV.  Thanks for any info you may have.

Can you ride from your house, or gotta park in 1 of the 3 parking areas?

We can ride right out of the house driveway to access the dunes.  We do have to go through the Discovery Point campground, but if they have their gate closed, we can probably get away with riding 200 yards down the county road to the dune access sand road.  But if the riding area is closed, we're screwed.

Need to call the local sheriff office and ask.

You’ll be fine by May.

I think only way in is through a private road. All campgrounds and dayuse are closed.. Should be fine by May though as long as virus don't spread even worse.

[SKEETER]

Getting worse by the day.

Apparently no riding boating fishing crabbing down south till September. Latest news. Can change if virus don't spread.. Looks like lots of dirt riding for me this year.

Hopefully you got private property to ride dirt.

Let's just hope that by this month the number of positive cases will decrease so that on May everyone can go back to doing usual stuff. 

Stay safe.

Here in Canada I just seen an article that said best case scenario things are back to normal (no social distancing) in July.

if that’s true, and seeing the numbers coming out of the US, I wouldn’t get my hopes up

I heard rumors that the dunes won't open up until September.  Don't know if its true or not.  Anyone know whats going on with St. Anthonys? I have a trip planned for mid June.

[SandSlingerOR]

I just read online all of Idaho is still open as of now.

Until all of Oregon goes over to ride lol
