IF EVER WE NEED LAUGHTER, it’s now. And the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources delivered this week with A CHEESY GUIDE TO KEEPING YOUR SOCIAL DISTANCE OUTDOORS.
The second daughter, who lives in Wisconsin, where a “Safer at Home” order is now in place, texted the graphic to me this morning. While reading this message, I laughed out loud. Repeatedly.
This additional info accompanied the guide posted on the DNR Facebook page:
Hey Cheeseheads! Wisconsin’s state parks and trails are open for you to OutWiGo and enjoy some fresh air. If you head out, we encourage you to stay close to home and within your community.
Social distance is key to slowing COVID-19. Stay at least 6 feet away from others – but don’t forget about the air fives!
Kudos to the creative who came up with this idea. I always appreciate a savvy and fun media campaign. Humor resonates with people. They remember. They talk about it.
The Facebook posting certainly has people talking in the comments section. And it’s not good. Seems people are flocking to state parks and not a lot of social distancing is happening. Wisconsin isn’t the only place with this problem. I’ve heard from friends about overcrowding issues at North Carolina state parks (now closed) and even in Minnesota.
You can only do so much, I suppose. Thank you, Wisconsin DNR, for doing your best and for making me laugh today.

This is a cute idea. Much better than South Dakota’s “Meth We’re On It” slogan. What on Earth were they thinking?
I wondered about that SD campaign also…
We need this humor now! Have a good, peaceful weekend. Phil, Eagle Bend
Yes, we do.
Same to you up in Eagle Bend. Be well, my friend.
Awesome! Even if it was the cheeseheads.😂
Laughing…here in Minnesota.
Love the Cheesy Guide – ha! – so genius 🙂
Gotta give a lot of credit to that creative.
