Dear Dave,
While we wait for
travel to safely
pick up again, we
are tying to take
advantage of
exploring local
hikes. I certainly
hope that everyone
is able to get out
for some socially
distanced walks
and hikes. It is
even a good way to
catch up with
friends on the
right (social
distanced) hikes.
Freddie has been
researching and
doing some great
hikes recently. In
fact, he also
started his own
YouTube channel "Freddie
Got Furloughed" to
share short
reviews of his
local hikes. You
can check it out
HERE.
When we go on
hikes together,
Freddie
concentrates on
his video reviews,
and I concentrate
on my photography
and digital art.

some fun,
productive and
healthy things to
occupy your time,
while we wait.
