Distance Yourself Outdoors
When we’re all jumping online to hear what else in our lives has been cancelled in the name of social distancing, I want to offer a list of outdoors and recreation ideas that are NOT cancelled and small business that are NOT closed across the South Carolina Lowcountry. If you're not in that geographic range, let these ideas serve as starting points for you to find something similar in your neck of the woods.
They may not sell toilet paper but they’re bound to provide you with heathy alternatives that are productive and beneficial in times like these.
Got a local business in the Lowcountry with an outdoors tie that needs to be added? Send me an email at info@wingshot.design or comment below. I’ll keep updating this list with additions. #distanceyourselfoutdoors
