Sun, Sun Sun, 'till her daddy takes the T-bird away

I need to get out of the shady North East and into the sun before I wilt.  I was thinking of going to Owens River Gorge and self-belay top-rope from the top down climb some junk back up to the anchors, low risk stuff.  I also have someone who can belay.   Are there people climbing there or is the area closed off with danger tape?       

Can you climb there?  Is anyone climbing there today, yesterday?   

Now, I know some of you will say I should just stay put because I could be spreading something around.  There are a number of ideas about that all of which are good.  However if you already have had Covid 19 then that is no longer a problem, right?   

I am pro life when it comes to abortion.  Some of you are pro choice.    I think the same philosophy can be equally applied to Covid 19 when it comes to what by in large primarily effects people over 55 in poor health.   In other words if one can be a personal choice one way so can one have a personal choice for the other. 

China has opened their wet-markets up again, so I think we just need to all adapt, survival of the fittest is the new game, and the world is allowing China to make the rules.   All we can do is slow it down ... but if you go too slow you die.

Anyone know anything about the state of Owens River today?

Haven't "seen" you around in awhile. I think the Gorge is shut down. Sure sounds fun right about now.

Yea, I finally found something:
