Not a chance! Been clobbered everywhere in the last 2 weeks. It doesn't seem to make a difference where you go. Lakes, peaks, ridges...they're everywhere paranoid.gif BW

People, BUGS are a very normal part of the outdoors! It always surprises me when I hear people complaining so much abou the bugs. I dont like them either, but you have to deal with them. Dont ever NOT go on a trip simply because of the bugs! The bug issue was HORRIBLE at Jordan lakes this past weekend, but I didnt let it get me down. Everything else about the trip was wonderful. Enough of that. Dante and I are going to do the Squaw lake, peggys pond, circle, venus, spade, deep lake trip! Hope the weather holds! TB

I know it sounds wussy as all get out..but i don't react normally to misquito bites... they take months to heal and stop itching even if i don't scratch them! I would rather suffer pain than itching any day! I turn into a maniac! I do most of my back packing in the fall and winter..when things are much more calm.. most years i find the beginning of sept a good starting point. These late melts drive me berzerk!

I'm going to Lake Tahoe and meeting my old friend who lives in Phoenix. Tahoe is a nice mid point. I'm taking my boots along. I hear that Mt. Tallac is a nice hike. Has anyone here done it?

Tomorrow I will be climbing Shroud (Point 6243) overlooking Necklace Valley. It is a Homecourt Peak. Fri-Sun I will be climbing several peaks near SR 20; Golden Horn, Tower, and Mt Hardy. The first two are Bulger Peaks and the third comes in at a respectable 8000+ feet.
