Just spoke with the outfitter and he said, "the bugs haven't been too bad of late, but it is supposed to be near 90 on Sunday..." He didn't think they'd be too horrible yet. But, told me to "definitely bring bug spray". Dean |

You got me beat too! I leave Saturday afternoon for the arduous 14 hour drive through the U.P. in the middle of the night...I have our dry food packed. Frozen meat is vac-packed and froze, but our clothes are in disarray...it's the boys' last week of school and getting them to do anything is tough right now. Still have to pick out clothing and then spray with Permethrin for the ticks...takes a few hours to dry. I can see that this will be a "last minute" job even though I've worked hard not to let it be...oh well. Live and learn. Have a safe and wonderful journey! Dean |

The only thing that is sustaining me right now is knowing that my canoe is on my truck in the parking lot right now waiting patiently to depart tomorrow... At this point I would be totally thrilled about sitting in my underwear amongst the black flies and mosquitoes. Please help!!!! |
