As before, Seniors Outdoors! will continue to comply with recommendations and guidelines of applicable entities such as the CDC, State of Colorado, San Juan Basin Public Health, and La Plata County. Until further notice, completed Covid vaccinations are required for any member to participate in any SO! activity. Enforcement of that requirement will be by the honor system.
