I think Jo is right on with this. In the last several years I never got a mosquito bite at Lakeside but with all the water and with the ground saturated there is activity in the springs. The bugs at Pit n Pole seem to have calmed down, a month or two ago they were bad. I wonder how Wolf Creek is now that it is opened? I imagine there are lots of mosquitoes up there right now. Deet is good until the Thermacell gets up and running though. http://www.thermacell.com/mosquito-repellent (at Walmart) On Mon, Aug 8, 2011 at 11:12 AM, Josephine Grahn <bsi@xmission.com> wrote:
I think the mosquitoes are a new thing out at Lakeside, we never used to have any bugs. I am betting it is related to the amount of rain we have had, and especially the bigger downpours that left standing pools long enough to hatch the mosquitoes. I also think there are several springs that used to dry up quickly, but are still burbling out this year.
