2020 will go down in history as one of the most disastrous years ever. Everyone alive felt the effects of the events — whether it was discrimination, politics, Mother Nature or the pandemic. To keep our heads up at Games with Geebs, we felt there was no better way to get through the chaotic times than to laugh at them. That's where The 2020 Trail comes in.
