![LAKE ELSINORE, CALIF. -- MONDAY, MARCH 18, 2019: Surrounded by the wildflower super bloom, Kaleb, 5, and Ava Gutierrez, 3, of Aliso Viejo, play amid the poppies while taking in the rare scenery of the Lake Elsinore Poppy Fields in Walker Canyon after the city closed the area in Lake Elsinore, Calif., on March 18, 2019. Calling the stampede a ?poppy nightmare,? Lake Elsinore officials announced they had shut access to the popular poppy fields in Walker Canyon, where crowds had descended in recent weeks to see the super bloom of wildflowers. ?The situation has escalated beyond [our] available resources,? Lake Elsinore said on its City Hall Facebook page. ?No additional shuttles or visitors will be allowed into Walker Canyon. This weekend has been unbearable [for] Lake Elsinore.? The area was reopened Monday. (Allen J.
