We just returned from Trek 6 on 7-5. We only used the Micro-pur tablets the last day at N. Fork Urracca. We ate dinners for lunch a couple of days and then ate lunch in the trail camps with the water we carried. Never had to use our extra water bags and haul pounds of water. We wore fllece shirts every night and most mornings, frost only one morining in a meadow - but things can change. Each person should bring a 1 or 2 oz pump bottle of 100% deet, skeeters were terrible some days at dusk but they seemed to be dying out. Bad at Clear Creek and Porcupine for awhile but we really didn't use much of the stuff - glad we had it

What's the weather like now? We are coming from 10 days at summer camp in mid-Missouri where it was mid-90s and 60-70% humidity. Some of our boys are balking at the fleece jacket recommendation. Thanks much
