Just sent an email and asked if Mark says it is OK to go to the mountains since there is "a lot of snow and easy to find a spot", is it OK to go back to the beach since there is a lot of sand and water there?

I would suggest you all email or call ktla, tell them to rescind his statement and to reiterate the stay in place suggestion to stay home and NOT come up. Very frustrating.

Why don’t the chain cops tell tourists to turn around

i dont understand people why is the stay at home order good for us but not the flatlanders its ridiculous and why would the news station advertise snowplay?

Mark is dumb as a rock.

I sent an email to them.

Guess Mark didn't get the Governor's Essential-Travel-Only-Stay-at-Home- Shelter-in-Place memo. Shame on him.

Just wondering, does the sheriff have any juristiction/influence for areas in the SBNF? I don't think so. FS staff are short-handed, but if they could actually enforce and hand out tickets (which I normally disapprove of in general), it could help curb the influx of flatlanders

brief lapse of judgement...

During normal circumstances, KTLA tries to promote tourism for BB. I don't think Mark has ever experienced how crazy snowplay areas get up here, so im just taking this as brief in judegement due to being naive.

@ Christopher & McToddy, saw the same news, they suggested bringing kids up to play in the snow, maybe build a snowman, just make sure the snowmen are 6 feet apart...REALLY? And whereare they to play? Anywhere they find snow? SMH

One has to wonder what the local news stations' stake is in directing people up the mountain.

@Christopher Yeah, I saw the same thing. I pinged @ktlanews (via 'gram), but I have no idea if my dm will be seen. But at least it's better than not attempting to provide any feedback)

That's awful they would report that Christopher

My Wife just told me Channel 5 KTLA just suggested a trip to the mountains this weekend for people with kids who are bored at home.
