Social distancing just got a little easier and a lot more fun as I found the gate to Cibola National Forest/Six Mile Canyon open and unlocked today. According to the sign, it was to be closed through today, with the opening tomorrow. But I'm not complaining!
Thank you, National Forest Service!

It was a good thing that I put gasoline into the Jeep this morning as I took the opportunity to drive into Six Mile Canyon. By the way, with my Good Sam Club discount, gasoline only cost me $1.849/gallon today at the Flying J!

It looked like I was the only person in the national forest. Some roads had tracks on them and others didn't. I didn't see anyone else. I guess the word hasn't reached anyone yet.

I also didn't see any wildlife or cattle in the canyon during my drive.
In any case, I am happy that Six Mile Canyon is now open to vehicles. So now we won't have to quarantine ourselves at home. We can go off-roading instead.

The canyon will be nicer when the wildflowers bloom and the grasses start getting green.

I am definitely planning on returning tomorrow. I may take Six Mile Canyon Road all the way to McGaffey.
