We are now well into the hot, sticky beauty of summer in Rural Pennsylvania with our abundance of forests, creeks, and campsites. What does a fun, safe summer of Covid look like? Sam and Julie talk about Summertime in Lewisburg 2020:

-Should we be traveling to the beach? 
-Are we allowed to drink in Downtown Lewisburg? 
-With ongoing protests, do protesters get a pass at masking and social distancing?

And things get personal. Julie talks about getting Covid tested, and what it feels like to have a Covid scare.
