Answer: old...Mama podkayne asks how N got 24 ticks. Answer: old school canvas tents with no floor, and heavily wooded camp sites and hiking trails. We were in fairly undeveloped lands. A count of 24 was on the low side for our group in the tents. Tarps were installed for tent floors in the last couple days. But as my last sentence states, we'd rather have fun outdoors for a few days and get a tick than stay inside for a few days. Some experiences you just cannot replace.juliecachehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00051312206721332785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3117748718713928005.post-42829781642638591312008-07-12T12:15:00.000-05:002008-07-12T12:15:00.000-05:00AGHK! 24 ticks?

Fabulous weather, fabulous geocaching, and no ticks. But the mosquitoes were big enough to knock out of the air with a baseball bat!<BR/><BR/>We went out yesterday in search of geocaches (just west of the Twin Cities). My geo-wife, the lovely <I>wayfarer222</I>, was clever enough to put some spray on her shoes (100% deet). I didn't use any. After about 300 yards, I had a dozen ticks crawling up my socks. And that was that! No more geocaching. Word to the wise - use the chemicals.<BR/><BR/>We are on Blogger too. Stop by and say hello.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://geocats.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">The Northwoods Geocats</A>tonka_boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04724677214794295872noreply@blogger.com
