A long day of paddling. We went all the way to our last site of the trip. A site high on a bluff over the South Kwishiwi river. It was a nice site as well. The breeze kept the bugs away during the day.

BUT at dusk....mosquito-apocalypse started. Nothing stopped them...we were driven into the tents and you could just lay there and still hear them buzzing. I think they would have carried off the tent if possible.
