2020 has been a very off year for me in regards to getting out in the woods, on lakes, streams, to hike, camp, and fish. My Spring wilderness overland trip fizzled out, as some of the campsites I was planning to hit were closed due to Covid.

However, the State of Minnesota is not opening campsites until the 18th of May… and then only maybe. …
Covid 19 sure has messed up a lot of plans for people everywhere. Oddly enough in regards to my vacation plans, which are usually solo camping excursions because my wife isn’t into it, would not be affected by Covid 19 overly much.
