On this episode we will give some updates on how the hiking and backpacking community is being asked NOT to be on our National Scenic Trails and what information you need to have as resources. We also share a Public Service Announcement that the Podcast Association has asked us to share via the CDC. Then at the end answer the question. Why can’t I go for a hike?

What we talk about:

CDC ask’s all Podcasters to play a PSA (Of course we will)
Ariane is literally trying to save jobs
The ATC ask’s “what the hell”?
Trail Day’s is closed. Remember Damascus VA in your thoughts
The PCT closes
This i a time to face the fear of being alone. So go do it.
