The mosquitoes were the way you described it. I had repellent with DEET in it on my face, so the mosquitoes hovered about half an inch from my face, and I was afraid I was going to inhale them. Every now and then I'd suddenly stop walking forward, duck my head, and take a deep breath before they found me and started hovering again. It was a miserable camping trip that we laughed about. Much later.SkyePuppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01571489259897997518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9866194.post-67956067084425623952007-09-15T08:40:00.000-07:002007-09-15T08:40:00.000-07:00We went to a state park last week to ride our SeaD...We went to a state park last week to ride our SeaDoo in the Illinois river. While the kids were still riding my wife and I took a hike to see this overlook. With the recent flooding here, the mosquitoes were indescribable. If you were walking briskly they were barely tolerable. If you stopped, you immediately had 30 or more on you. We lasted about 15 minutes and just ran out for our lives. I did not have any repellent and if we had stayed, we would have needed blood transfusions.All_I_Can_Standshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13706352699628789787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9866194.post-23937379066564354952007-09-14T04:49:00.000-07:002007-09-14T04:49:00.000-07:00I imagine you're just irresistable to the little c...I imagine you're just irresistable to the little critters!<BR/><BR/>That's how I am - there can be one mosquito in a six mile radius. He will find me and have lunch.Bekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08455200539913180050noreply@blogger.com
