Yep, they don't want people out wandering around the high ground vantage points during the presidential library ceremonies in July. Especially with not just Trump and Vance being around, but thousands of other invited dignitaries.

Unless you're in the mood for crowds and security like most have rarely seen, I'd avoid Medora in early July.

Blocking it off now seems a bit excessive, unless one really believes a lone assassin is willing to hide out there for a couple of weeks.

I dislike crowds for the last 50 years.

Anything is possible. There are many groups and individuals that hate Trump.
