Escaped. We spent a socially distanced weekend with Dave and his family on their land (Wolf Mountain) in the Shenandoah mountains. We had our own campsite, and cooked and ate on opposite sides of the fire. Madeline and Dale led us on a 4 mile hike -- including some complex navigating. They came face to face with a deer, and found a box turtle. It was really good to get out of Arlington and sleep in a tent!
Souvenir from the trip: Chigger bites! The chiggers are not active until the temperature gets above 60, and we had a delightful day over 60 degrees -- they had been waiting for us! The bites itch and last longer than mosquito bites, but they do not carry any diseases.
