First Hike: WMR Pt.8

[jbeegoode]

We took a first walk after diner during our retreat in the White Mountains. Lovely wonderment:

Those insects looked benign and magical in the low sunshine.  Hope you didn't get bit!
That's the sort of country I'd love to walk in - wooded like home but very warm like Az!

Someday, a walk!

I'm going to make a more specific description to the bug problem in a future post. They became a hassle at certain times of the day. Certain strategies had to be employed, including, at times, the dread of  CLOTHING!   

This particular mass was apparently benign, not very interested in our meat. We passed through quickly in case. But nobody followed us, nor blocked our passage.

Bugs are a naturist issue, whether crawling in and around, attaching, attacking, acting spooky, dive bombing, or getting WAY too bold. There are many in nature that can be quite friendly and entertaining.

We have had a thread about midges. I'd like to hear about any anecdotal bugs on the naked body stories, here. Maybe something reported would sweeten that future post on my website.

DF seemed to be communicating like some sort of Snow White character with the local friendly butterflies during the retreat. A couple of mosquitoes were as determined to get at me and arrogant as I have ever experienced. Our travels in less touched nature have come up with some amazing characters.

Hoards of locust, Mexican General grasshoppers, eaters, ants, tarantulas, moths as big as one's head paired with the San Pedro cactus have been mentioned on the website through the years.
