That is unfortunate. Had some very nice cantaloupe with breakfast and a nicely marbled ribeye will be on the grill for dinnerOh, so that's why what's left in the bin is so scraggly-looking!

Okay Joe, thanks. I thought you were having a bad day. I only asked because I'm sure the people in those cars were wandering around Batsto Village, causing the staff to be a little freaked out by it.
No problem, I'm not sure if there was staff there or not, I do know the main gate to the parking lot was closed and there were definitely people walking the village and other areas. I reminded me of the country living fair when I was driving past.

Speaking of grill, I don't have natural gas so have to use propane and I ran out yesterday. Decided to take the least risk by going to the gas station in whiting, and paid $22. Walmart was $14 last year. Nothing like selling in big volume.
I've had to do the same. I waited 5 days to get a place in line though. I finally got one this afternoon. I can pick up my groceries on Thursday.
No gas here, I use charcoal. Am pretty well-stocked, but was thinking that now might be a good time to start a "how to make your own charcoal" thread. OTOH, a campfire works pretty well too.

And there's plenty of free firewood.

Briquettes or lump? I use the lump and noticed a decline in the quality of it at a higher price.
I like the lump charcoal, but the briquettes burn longer and more evenly, so that's what I've been using. Have not even looked at prices recently.
To conserve charcoal, I have a spray bottle with water and after I finish cooking I moisten the coals and seal the BBQ so they go out. Then, next time I put an old grill over the trash can and dump the contents from the BBQ so the ashes go though into the trash and I can put the partially-burned charcoal back. Cuts way down on the amount of charcoal that I use.

Yes, there will be many things to learn from this virus. I found this article a bit disturbing. Could we actually be damaging people by using ventilators? I sleep with a CPAP machine, which automatically pumps air in when I breathe during sleep so the airway doesn't collapse. If I went into hospital, I"d bring my machine, but that is a problem. It would simply spew the virus into the room on the exhale.

Here are the maps for the Wildlife Management Areas. Posted here because that thread "Closed" is like a dumpster fire.

You will also find Wildlife Management Areas indicated on my Map of the Pines, for example: https://online.boydsmaps.com/#16/39.8143/-74.3564/pinesHD

Do you have WMA boundaries in there? That would be impressive. I've never seen them except on the Fish & Wildlife PDF maps that bobpbx linked to, which don't help much if you have a Lat, Lon coordinate and want to know if it is inside a WMA or other open space land. I've looked, and I don't think WMAs are on Trailtracker at all (which is State Park Service, so they don't concern themselves with WMAs). Openstreetmap.org has a few, maybe, but not most. Have you found a source for WMA boundaries?
