Is gecko road at glamis closed

[BIGRED9158]

Just had a buddy call and tell me he heard gecko was closed because of this stupid virus what the hell has anyone else heard this or seeing anything

Looks that way

Seems like one of the better places to hide out. No permanent population. Not a ton of people to absorb the impact of new visitors.

No sheriffs asked us to vacate...yet! We are still here. Just not letting any others through and redirecting to the washes.

It was open yesterday when I drove in. Ended up camping in washes. All my camping buddies canceled on me so out here solo.

If it dose not say camp ground where your camping at then it’s open they can only enforce where it says campground in the name

That's what I read too. Established and maintained camp grounds are closed.
