Inyo National Forest Closes Group Campgrounds Until Nov.

Makes sense: group camps are really incompatible with social distancing.

Well, I've ended up having conversations with randoms at shared bear lockers before. Have yet to see anyone with a mask on the trails and it's a gathering spot that also concentrates campers close to them, instead of people being more dispersed. And it's been floated before that removing backcountry lockers would solve the issue of the trash dumpers filling them up with things they don't want to carry any more... this seems an opportunity for a variety of changes. Hoping that some of them, like the throttling of traffic in Yosemite via the entry permit reservations, actually stick.
