Plans for This Summer

My plans this summer have been for some time (I've already reserved and paid for campgrounds!) to go to Yellowstone, then head north to Vulcan, AB, then to Banff.  I may get to visit Yellowstone, at least:
National parks will be reopening soon after being closed for weeks to contain the spread of the coronavirus, President Donald Trump announced Wednesday.

"Thanks to our significant progress against the invisible enemy, I'm pleased to announce that in line with my administration’s guidelines for opening up America again, we will begin to reopen our national parks and public lands for the American people to enjoy,” Trump said during an Earth Day ceremony on the White House lawn. “That’s going to be very exciting; we have a lot of land to open up, too. People are going to be very happy.”

Trump's announcement comes as states begin to relax restrictions that forced the closures of parks and other businesses that were considered nonessential amid the coronavirus pandemic.
