I have to say the mosquitoes were the absolute worst I've ever experienced in my life! The thing was, we got misled into thinking they weren't so bad, because the first couple miles of the trail, they are pretty much non-existent. It seems the trail was open and hot enough to keep them away. But as the trail got more shaded, cooler, and wetter, they swarmed! By the time we reached the lake, the only relief was to jump in and stay in with as little skin sticking out as possible. Praise God for the people who dropped (or purposely left) the can of Deep Woods Off!! So the return hike for us was actually enjoyable - we got to see things that we previously missed due to the ravenous bloodsuckers.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01160014026809104949noreply@blogger.com
