SEKI….mosquitos and snow

I was a little south of there ten days ago, and despite the dryness, the mozzies came out in force one evening. Further, they stayed on me after sunset. I was too tired to even try to look for my headnet in my pack, so I just laid my bandana over my face and tried to sleep.

Thanks for the info Bob

Hi Ken – You are likely to run into mosquitos at Anvil Camp, if you decide to camp there. If they are too outrageous, drop down to Mahogany Flats, a mile or so by trail below Anvil Camp. It is drier there and a bit less likely to have mosquiitos at a bothersome level, especially if you camp well away from Shepherd Creek.

Thanks Tom, I will keep that in mind when we are heading down Shepherds.

I just got out of the area – thought the mosquitoes were rather tame compared to a pervious visit…I used only a bug net, no tarp. Weather was perfect.

Thanks Dirk for the info
