I have deleted a response which quoted that post as well. Let's try to be nice and remember that we're all in this together.

My friend is a buisness administrator of a rural town. He said the state is sending mixed messages regarding outdoor recreation. They asked him to shut down his municipal parks yet they are allowing people to fish on state park lakes.
I am a fisherman but I can understand his point.

Not Pines related, but good stuff none the less 
Meanwhile, a front page news story. In Philadelphia, Elinore Kaufman a fellow in surgical critical care and trauma surgery at the University of Pennsylvania pleads with people to stop shooting each other; "we need the beds for Covid-19 patients." There were more than 120 shootings in Philly last month. Depressing.
I wore a mask when I went to BJ's, the liquor store, and drug store today. It makes sense. 85-90% of the people in BJ's were wearing one. It felt natural, while those without one seemed to be taking a risk.
While I did wear it for protection, I was also wearing it to make others feel a little safer.
Reluctantly putting on my moderator's hat again.... Most of you know I take a very "hands off" approach to moderating, so I'm not going to delete any posts or lock this thread. But I am asking Ben to review it and decide whether nine pages is enough.
It's okay. I skimmed through and saw the word "Lakewood" and was like "okay this is where the thread takes a turn" but it didn't.
Everyone just be nice and Bob, please stay home. I have had a few friends catch this and it is not fun and quite painful.

So we again broke isolation and headed to the pines to walk the old road on the other side of the Oswego from Martha. Parking at Martha we visited the bridge again bringing back memories of years gone by.
Taken today. Take notice of the raised sand area just above my name in the water.
That sand area was an island with trees growing when I first visited, and this photo developed in 8/1975 shows myself and the late KC Mahon metal detecting for keys to a motorcycle that were lost there by a motorcycle rider out of view.
Anyway, back to today. The road north on our way up was quite wet in places and Jessica's boots were leaking pretty bad. Here she is resting on the sawmill along the road. I know I have another photo of her doing the same thing there but as of yet have not found it.
Someone has been traveling this road during the winter and has cut all of the trees in the way. We eventually turned around as we did not as of yet find what we were looking for and we were running out of time. We walked 3 miles and had 8000 steps on her fit bit.

That bridge has always had problems. Here is my future wife there in 1981. The bridge was out then.

So many people! I would like to give everyone the benefit of the doubt and say they're all staying away from each other.
I would like the Easter Bunny to drop me off some jelly beans, too.
