Description:

The hike is now open to 12 people, but I am more conservative about Covid than it would appear the rest of the area is.
Therefore,
If you meet someone going your way, MASK UP, excuse yourself and pass. If someone is coming the other way, MASK UP and if that person doesn't get over, step aside and face the woods. The flowers are great. IF YOU ARE FOLLOWING WITHIN 8 FEET OF ANOTHER PERSON, YOU MUST MASK UP. WHY? You are in their slipstream, people change their pace and suddenly you're too close. PLEASE DO THIS.

A FACE SHIELD, WHICH COSTS <$8, ALSO IS ACCEPTABLE. It's easy to put on, people can see a dour expression, and it affords the same protection. That and a mask= an N95.

Note: I have routinely hiked up and down Spencer wearing a mask. It's easier that way.

WHEN CAN YOU LEAVE THE MASK OFF?
IF YOU CAN SEE UP THE TRAIL AND NOBODY IS COMING YOUR WAY.
YOU ARE MORE THAN 10 FEET BEHIND SOMEBODY YOU ARE FOLLOWING.
AT THE TOP, WHEN YOU ARE EATING AND DRINKING, AND PLEASE DO THAT AWAY FROM OTHERS.

PLEASE DO NOT CONGREGATE WHEN YOU MEET SOMEONE ON THE TRAIL, UNLESS YOU ARE 6' APART. SAME GOES FOR THE TOP.

MASKS ARE A SIGN OF RESPECT AND ARE TO SOME EXTENT PROTECTIVE OF YOURSELF AS WELL. I would like to see Obsidians wearing them in public, especially given our age. I don't expect to be the agent of change, but I guess I keep hoping....

If you don't feel well, please don't come. If you are not willing to follow the guidelines, please do not join the group.
