Went to check on Creeky today, more so because I wanted to get out today than because I’m impatient… It turns out that Creeky has finally emerged! I was starting to think it would be September before I got into this hole. Even more, I can get across the trail bit I need to to access the boggy part of the area that I found late last year. I’m anxious to check on it again this coming week!
I have never been eaten by mosquitoes as bad as I did today. I am really glad to not be allergic to them, or else I could have been in real trouble. Layer upon layer of spray didn’t do squat. I don’t know if any mosquito repellent would’ve stood a chance. I’m also considering just getting some regular mosquito coils, which burn for hours. My concern there becomes the wafting smell around the area. But I am pretty well hidden so maybe it’s not a problem…
