   On the last night we were backpacking, we were at a wonderful shelter called Birch Glen, with a cabin for about 12 people and three different tent sites. The cabin even had a front porch! We had the place to ourselves until dinner time. The a group of about 12 people arrived - middle school summer campers and two counselors from the Farm and Wilderness group. The kids and I cooked dinner at the fire pit and then cleaned up for bed by around 8 - we wanted to hike out early the following g morning. While we cooked and ate, the counselors had trouble getting help with their meal from their campers and distant thunder rumbled in the valley below.

     Who would think you can contract #COVID19 in the wilderness? I certainly didn't. But I went backpacking last week and tested positive for COVID 4 days after traveling home. On the trip, we
     1. Flew in a commercial jet
     2. Shopped at an REI for stove fuel and bear spray (can't fly with those)
     3. Stayed in a nearly empty inn
     4. Backpacked for 4 days
     5. Stayed at a hotel
     6. Traveled home by plane

     So why do I think it was the backpacking?
