I trust everyone was wearing face mask during this conversation?
I'm not against relaxing the rules and opening things up for camping however I'm not naive enough to believe that opening things up does not come with the risk of additional spread.

We were outdoors and ten yards away from each other. No masks.

AS I said I'm OK with camping I think its great however it will come with additional risk.

My point was there will be interactions associated with the trip.
I'm not saying you did not practice social distancing however if there were no mask used there was a chance of droplets,aerosols and transmission.
One of the reasons mask are mandatory in retail places in MD is to eliminate droplets and aerosols.
I agree the risk was minimal, but it was certainly more than if camping were still shut down and you stayed home.
As much as I want to go camping and get things going. I do understand and accept that opening up society will increase the risk of spread. Nevertheless I accept those risk and plan to camp.
I do think we need to be mindful of all our interactions and understand the inherent risk of a simple conversation.
