Where the spirit leads the feet will follow.
Down distant paths for unmapped miles.
Heads forget but hearts remember:
The art of living knows no bounds.

* Cloth Masks

In alignment with the CDC's most recent recommendation to wear a cloth mask to help prevent oneself from potentially spreading COVID-19 when a 6 foot separation is not attainable (eg: Grocery Store), we sat down and created our own masks with supplies we had on hand.

We used two different patterns/procedures we found on youtube with supplies listed below...
- Miscellaneous cloth for front and back layers
- Tyvek vapor barrier for middle layer
- Elastic strips for ear loops
- Pipe cleaner (hot glued) inside for forming fit over nose
- Basic sewing thread
- Sewing machine and basic sewing skills



One simple option is a face cover/wind screen used by motorcyclists. Shown below.

Stay safe friends.

EXERCISE COMMON SENSE
STAY HOME
RECREATE IN YOUR OWN AREA

If everyone acts responsibly, respectfully, and with a sense of urgency we will get through this.
