Ginnie?

[vicp]

Apparently Ginnie is still open according to their website. Just a recorded message on their phone.
Does anyone have any idea or feeling if they will make an effort to stay open or if closure is imminent or pending (coronavirus)?
Thinking of doing the previously unthinkable (arrogance, Nestle, etc.) and getting an annual pass. Everywhere else seems to be shut down (state and county parks, libraries, businesses, etc.) and am worried about the onset of "cabin fever."

Don?t know. But if I go I?ll wear a mask and try not to touch the railings or wear gloves.

Ginnie is open. I'd wear a mask at the check in booth but otherwise, the railings will wash off in the water of the spring run.

Just got done diving ginnie a couple hours ago. Its very obvious they have no intention of closing. There were only a couple other dive teams. There was summertime level campers and daytime visitors. At the same time its not that hard to keep away from people and not touch stuff.

I said it last week after diving there last sunday, I really think ginnie is going to get shut down by some authority. They are literally doing nothing to decrease the number of people theyre letting in.

If it was difficult to keep social distances my wife and I wouldnt go. But being an essential business owner I fee like I get more potential exposure at my job and going to the grocery than I do at ginnie. The groceries near me have been doing pretty much nothing to make people keep social distance.

Wouldn’t be surprised. It seems the owners need/want the business so they’re not changing daily limits. I get it. New owners with a hefty note to pay. So I’d want to be able to pay my bills too. But I think they should either severely limit the number of people allowed in, limit overnight campers, or something. Sadly I’m sure the first group to be cut is cave divers. With a pvalve in place I’ve got no use of any facilities but a bench and the stairs. So I can get in and out without touching a thing and I feel safe there. Unfortunately the campers share the facilities, drink and smoke after each other, and generally seem to be using no precautions.

Lol, Ginnie is owned free and clear. It did not sell.

People at Ginnie are no different than people at Lowe's or Home Depot. If it frightens you, stay away.

Whoops. Maybe I'm spreading misinformation. I was told by 2 different people that when all of the management changes happened it was due to new ownership. Maybe it's just caver country rumors.


Either way, whoever owns it is playing with fire by not trying to at least make it look like they're trying to limit people.

My thinking is maybe people should take responsibility and limit exposure without having to be told or marshal law.
