Even at 72 I can usually handle the Texas heat as long as I have some air movement and lots of water. But there is something about being muzzled with a face mask that makes the heat less bearable for me. Perhaps I’m part dog and need to pant to stay cool! Thanks for your take on this!

What is to keep someone from wearing a face mask in 80+ temps? I've worn heavy, HEPA filter face masks while mountain biking when it's 100 degrees outside due to my asthma and allergies. Sure, it's uncomfortable, but to me it's worth it to be outside. This is like saying you can't cave in the summer. It's just how much heat you're willing to bear!

All of them indicate that “To help keep parks safe during the pandemic, visitors must bring and wear face coverings, keep a six-foot distance from those outside their group and avoid gathering in groups larger than five people.” This would indicate that face masks must even be worn on the trails! If this is correct, when temps head back into the 80’s plus, they have effectively closed the parks again. Has anyone verified this with TPWD?
