Day 1: Drive from the Bay, Quick Stop by Dodge Ridge, and 11.5 miles to Mosquito Heaven Toejam Lake
close to our destination, you could already ride horses
smiling and happy, not knowing th hell we were going to walk into :)
nearby thunderstorm that we avoided
Arturo said the smoke the fire should have scared them, sadly it made no difference
Got the tent up as quickly as possible, and went to hide in it
Was that about 50 mosquitoes trying to get through my 2 layers of clothes and get in the tent with me?
they also did their best to try and get inside the tent
and they also tried to eat my pack
Arturo stayed outside, good for him :)
Day 2: 12H / 20 Mile Escape
Honestly, I have no idea how Arturo dealt with the swarms of mosquitoes (and it was really swarms). Once I was outside the tent the next morning, I packed and left as soon as possible as the mosquitoes were just biting through my clothes as soon as I stopped moving:
the river crossings were easy enough, only one was a bit tricky
interesting to see bacteria make oil
my new vivoactive 4 has a body battery feature, which seems to say I was running low :)
this was likely the only place without mosquitoes, so we took a break
the mosquito net was definitely helpful
the vivoactive 4 did great, despite 12H of GPS tracking, it had 20% battery left
