A quick thanks to those who provided insights and advice on repellents a
few
weeks ago, just before my first summertime north woods trip.

For those interested in such things, the final statistics over an 8-day
outing:

- (5) Sawyer permethrin-treated long-sleeve shirts
- (1) permethrin-treated cap
- (1) permethrin-treated bandana
- (4,000,000) daily DEET treatments (total approximate)
- (0) black fly bites
- (0) deerfly bites
- (3) detectable mosquito bites

The last two despite having been swarmed by both bugs almost incessantly.

Final Tally:
- (1) beautiful, inspiring, life-refreshing, nearly bite-free week in the
UP

And back to the city...

I thought I told you that there are lots of nice lakes in Wisconsin, to fish
there instead?

Sheesh! Tourists...
