While attending the campfire one evening this fox decide to check out ol’ Saddletramp. First picture is at 9pm and the fox walked through just after 7:30pm. Darkness never comes that far north.

Mosquitos:
Everyday you talk about them, they are always around. In some places it was maddening but two or three things made a huge difference.
1- never camp in the shade, the mosquitoes are not out in force with direct sunlight. Since water is everywhere and it rained.....a lot no sense in avoiding lakes and streams but steer clear of big puddles of standing water or backwaters.
2- start a campfire shortly after you have set up camp. Campfire smoke is the very best mosquitoe deterrence. Coupled wth 40% deet spray.
3- we used the Thermocell product, I strongly endorse it as it worked well for us every time we used it. While it didn’t get rid of every mosquito it did reduce the number enough to cook and eat. We also placed these in our tents with everything closed about 20 minutes before bed, this worked wonders, dropped like flies. Just open to the screens and allow a bit of air to flow trough. I do not recommend sleeping with this on or sleeping with the tent closed up right after. If it kills mosquitoes I’m sure it will make you sick. View attachment 2023007View attachment 2023008
The better covered up you are the fewer bites, hats, long sleeves and socks all help. I always sprayed my socks with repellent.
Any idea on the difference between Gen 1 and Gen 2? Gen 1 looks the same but <$20
