Sorry guys but I've got too much on my plate right now to get into coordinating much of anything new. Hope that somebody else picks this up.

Marble Falls and Dogpatch are separate and I'd not spoken with Debbie since the COVID thing started so just called her. The Marble Falls hotel, restaurant, and camp ground are still open and she actually was in the process of moving furniture as part of renovating 51 rooms of the hotel. Because she was moving furniture and not at her computer, off the top of her head said that for a big group:

July is about half booked.
August is fairly open.
September is partly open
October may, repeat may, still be open for the last weekend.

That is to bad, I really enjoy that place. Looking forward to the next time I’m able to visit!
EMS: did it appear they are even open?

When I spoke with Debbie, they are open and she desperately wants business. Unfortunately, this is yesterdays' stats:

No indication of being open.

I did state last February that there was a lot of trash in ditches and lots of abandon trailers with trash around.
I would like to say that with all the spring rain that the ditches are green with tall grass and the trees are all leafed out and it is a lot nicer looking down there now. I didn't notice any trash and all the foliage hides the run down trailers.
I did ride some of the roads in the area that guys where interested in.
Here is the river crossing at the south end of Bike wash falls road.
I did make it across fine but it would definitely be the place to watch carnage if a big group of adventure bikes was trying to cross.
It is a river crossing.

That arrow is where the exit is.

I would guess that mostly only applies to the big cities I never seen anyone paying any attention a virus. Looked pretty normal to me.

I stopped in at Marble Falls Resort a week ago Wednesday and no sign of activity then either.
Debbie is getting booked up for October, including the Hillbilly Dual Sport ride that I organize on the second weekend.

We have had a sudden rise in virus cases this last two weeks in the counties just to the west of Harrison which has made people in this area more concerned and careful now.

It's pretty well hit the cities and from all that I read is hitting the more rural areas.

Everybody is talking about a second wave but Dr. Fauci just said that we've still not yet gotten out of the first one.
