There was a friggin ton of mosquitos on Keller Mountain this past weekend. I don't have previous weeks to compare it to, so don't know if it is trending down.Scott P wrote:When was this though? It seems that mosquitoes have really dropped off lately in areas I have visited, which are not that far away (I haven't been to the Slate drainage recently). There was a huge difference between late July and last weekend (which is typical), at least a little bit north. Usually mosquitoes in the alpine areas (state wide) really start to taper off around this time of year. Of course there may be an exception to this is certain areas.If you head into Slate, Mike, you might want to consider bringing a flamethrower for the skeeters. It was borderline unreal.
