Re: [Philmont]: Bad Bug Years

>I guess last year was an exception and Philmont doesn't usually have a

what types should >we expect? No-seeums, skeeters, black flies?

The only ones that were really pests where I was last summer were
skeeters. I used Ultrathon cream and had no bites, but they still
swarmed. There were enough at Crooked Creek that we all ate walking
around. If you sat down you could get a mouth full. :-)
