We live on acreage at the end of a dirt road, off of another dirt road, in the mountains. There's a small mountain town nearby, but we're about 30 minutes away from a real town. Our whole state is on a shelter-in-place order. I think about 3/4 of Americans are now on similar orders.
We've had the same problem you're having, with urban Coloradans escaping to the mountains. First the state closed the ski resorts. Then people drove to Loveland Pass, where you can drive up, ski down, then drive up with another car. Then the governor told people that it was OK to recreate outdoors, but to maintain social distancing. So people got in their cars, drove to the mountains, and hit the trails. The people had to be specifically told that they can't do that.
Now people are repeatedly purchasing small amounts of items at "essential" businesses, so that they have an excuse to go out every day.
The small mountain towns are pleading with people to stay home. Some of them are closing completely to non-locals.
