[pct-l] mosquitoes

[dude@coruscant.net (The Dude)]

i just got back from Tahoe to Yosemite.  I never used DEET or any repellent one time of the 10 days.  There was one meadow in Yosemite (Grace Meadow) that was kinda bad at dusk.  I did get bitten perhaps 10-12 times on the whole trip, which was mainly in Grace Meadow and a few other spots at dusk.  Most days, I never even saw any Mosquitoes.  The bugs are very very light this year due to the low snowfall in the winter.  I have been in years past and this was the best that I have seen.

peace,
Dude in texas
