At the moment, the biggest news in town is the closing of the Stanislaus River Parks. People have been parking along the road and still walking the trails but Sunday, law enforcement did their best to turn people away. Even though people are still parking in town, hopefully, traffic will die down as news travels that the park is closed until further notice. My husband and I took a walk to pick up garbage in town and we were pleasantly surprised there wasn’t a lot of garbage to pick up.
