[pct-l] Mosquito situation around Mt. Jefferson

[Kent Spring]

Hi -
I was thru the area about 3 days ago, stayed at Shale Lake that night.  The mosquitos  weren't too bad in the evening - and I was on the downwind side of the lake, indeed there was a little pond at the back of my campsite.  No problem with them while on the move.  The daytime mosquitos are different from the night time ones - the ones out during the day are little and don't buzz much.  The night ones are bigger, but - again, not too many.  
 
Have a safe hike -  Spring

Hi all,

Has anyone been through the Mt. Jefferson area in the past week or so who
can give me an ubdate on the mosquito situation?  I am interested in the
areas around Shale and Mudhole Lakes as well as Jefferson Park.  Any info
would be helpful.

Thanks
