We're into our second week of sheltering-in-place at Stone Mountain State Park. The most dangerous thing we do is go to get groceries. Donna cooks some meals for Doug which we do deliver and share. I guess we'll be wearing our dust masks when we go out now. Perfect! No masks in stores that remain open to go along with no sanitizer, no toilet paper, no paper towels, no sanitizing hand wipes, and no nitrile gloves (which is surprising since we do have them since Donna uses them when we pick up and lay out our sewer hose.) So dust masks it is! Good for pollen, too. At least we'll look stylish when we go out.
Otherwise, we take walks in the park. We try to stay away from the busier trails. We getting in four or five miles for some of our walks. Just walking the campground gets you close to three miles. Campground does have people in it, but it's not that many. Compared to how we normally see the campground when we're here, it feels empty. Most campers are families with a few of us out-of-staters sprinkled in. I think this works well for the state park in one way: since they chose this time to refurbish a few of the more popular loops, there's not a lot of demand for campground sites. Consequently, the workers can move about freely as they need to.
Since I'm complaining, it's clear we're doing OK. Thanks for dropping by and checking up on us. I've posted a few pics of the campground for you to look at if you have the time. Until next week, David
