The residents and local governments of the Owens Valley have been quite clear about visitors staying away until given the "all clear" signal despite the regrettable economic impact. And not to get political, but the overwhelming majority of people think "our playboy governor" has done a pretty good job managing this crisis, unlike other pols who shall remain unnamed for the sake of hiking board propriety. We're ALL itching to get out there, travel, and spend money, especially with summer approaching. Have to be smart about it. 67K dead in the US and counting...
