Land of 10,000 Lakes and 100,000 mosquitoes! We made it to Minnesota and discovered that this state has 51 different varieties of mosquitoes. We have really had to increase our repellent stock pile. The up side to battling the parasite world is discovering that the tick population here seems nonexistent compared to home, so in the big scheme of things, it all seems to balance out. We now set our net house up close to our fire pit so that we can sit in it and still enjoy a fire at night. The people in Minnesota are just as friendly as the mosquitoes and we were pleased to get to know campsite neighbors, Al and Missy, at Frontenac State Park. I couldn’t believe it when they shared they were quietly getting married at the overlook near our campground and needed a witness. What a cool but unexpected honor. Congratulations Al and Missy!
I hear the mosquitoes up in Alberta are plentiful and friendly. We'll see in a couple of weeks!
