So we’ve all been self-isolating due to COVID-19 for a while now, restrictions are relaxing a bit and things are slowly opening back up, which includes mostly outdoor essential resources, like walking and hiking trails, beaches, and etc. And I’m sure, like me, you’re probably itching to get out, but still want to follow protocol to protect yourself and others during this time.
