Wondering if any Western MD guys know. I’ve called the station but they aren’t essential so no ones answering.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Range open at green ridge?

I haven’t heard anything about it being closed. But someone does have to show up to unlock the gate, so if they’re not working, they’re not unlocking the gate I’d presume. I haven’t shot there in several years. Take a target stand with you if you go.

I dont think they lock the gate. Savage river range is open if that helps. Been there 3 times this week. Same agency.

Thanks! Savage is still like an hour from GreenRidge though. Bunch of cops and FFers going camping and trying to maximize the short time we have!

Just a bump looking for update?
FWIW: Here's the message on the park page: "ALERT: Until further notice, the Maryland Forest Service has closed all public camping on State Forests as of March 20, 2020 at 5pm, due to COVID-19 outbreak public health restrictions."
It doesn't specifically mention the range.

Now both Savage river and Green Ridge are closed. Range and camping.
Before I got into the club I'm in now, I had to go to Green Ridge to shoot. There were several times that I was met with a locked gate before 8:00AM. And now the range that I'm a member of has closed the ranges due to COVID-19
Interesting. I guess fleeing the cities full of disease and famine to get away safely in your camper is prohibited. I don't go camping so I can be close to a bunch of strangers.

Yep, I'm sure I'm in the same club. I emailed the secretary asking him to file an appeal
Was that gate closure after 2007 or so. ? Some structure has changed since then.

I was hoping to head out that way and get some camping in while I'm not working, but I saw the announcement on the DNR/State Parks webpage and I threw my hands up in frustration.
As if being in the woods, getting sunshine and fresh air away from the congestion and contamination of the urban hellscape is contributing to the pandemic.

I was PISSED!!!! I called the dispatch who said camp sites are open (this was March 27th). My boy got up there before me only to find out they were closed! The C&O (fed owned) by Bills are also closed.

What's even worse is that the campsites are closed, but I don't see one lick of difference going on on the roads behind my house given that we're supposed to be in "lock down, essential travel only."
There's still landscaping and construction crews doing non-essential work all over my part of town. People going on pleasure cruises on their bikes and meeting up in parking lots, etc.
I saw the total new cases was down 50% today from the day prior, so hopefully that means things will start getting back to normal again and the state parks will open up soonish. This sunshine is calling me.

It just boggles the mind that they shut down public shooting ranges, camping, and all recreational fishing. WTF are people supposed to do? I understand the seriousness of the virus, but wanting everyone cowered in their homes in fear exposes the piss poor leadership being experienced all over.
At least you can buy liquor in MD, here in PA that’s effectively shut down. So people are traveling out of their area, defeating the purpose of actually trying to contain this. And they just formally closed schools for the remainder of the year. Mental health is going to going to be a big part of this going forward.

It'll likely still be there after we shoot Sunday. Got enough of that to last forever. Occasionally we do find some nice nuggets tho.
So.... When are you gonna hook up with us for a shoot?
