[pct-l] mosquitoes

[Marion Davison]

I have to agree about Oregon mosquitoes.  We took a road trip thru 
CA-OR-WA_BC in August, after a couple weeks on the trail in the high 
sierras.  The sierras mosquitoes (in August) were pretty mellow this 
year.  They are slow moving, easy to swat, and slow to bite.  But the 
Oregon mosquitoes were much larger, more wary, quick to bite, and quite 
hard to swat.  They seem more durable somehow.  I still have about 50 
scabs on me from the bites I got three weeks ago in Oregon.  The WA and 
BC bugs were tiny
and minimal.
