Just what is open/closed?
NOTE: this was posted on FB last night (from Pier Junkies) so it may be 'dated' even by now...

Goes anyone know about boat ramps?
People are shocked to see sharks in the water around here.
If you see natural water taste it. If it's salty it has sharks in it. If it's fresh it has alligators in it. If it's brackish it has both.

Do you know the status of Ft. Morgan fishing/walking the dog on the Bayside?

I spoke with an Alabama Conservation & Natural Resources officer last night. He said the boat ramps were open, Alabama Point (Perdido Pass), and the Gulf Shore Pier were open for fishing.

The island north of Perdido Pass bridge was in full swing this weekend with several hundred people. I just don't get it...

Too many people with the instant gratification/"all about me" mind set. They do what they want with no regard for how it might affect anyone else. They're willing to risk their own health, and everyone else's too. It won't cost them anymore if their neighbors get sick.

Thanks to the efforts of AL DCNR and State Park officials the boat ramps and GSPPier are still open to the public.
Pier patrons are limited to 200 and those are required to maintain 'social distancing'.
Be responsible when utilizing these facilities and what pictures and reports you post (or see posted) to reflect well on the efforts to keep boat ramps and the pier open.
This is what 'negative' press can do (quickly)...

This is what I was getting at Chile.Y'all please keep your keep your mouth shut. Text, call, send a telegram or passenger pigeon to friends, but keep the social media stuff down or it will end quick.

Well, after several hours making phone calls, I was able to track down a certain manufacturer’s service center in California. Thankfully, they agreed to send out my needed parts. These were left over...
You would think I would know this!
