So Friday afternoon we decided to load up the motor home and head out to Francios Lake for the Weekend. The weather was overcast, but we thought that it would be fun to spend a relaxing time on the lake shore. I always like to have a camp fire when we camp, it makes the camping cosy! Well in this case it was to soon become apparent that it was not a luxury, but a definite necessity! Mosquitoes, Black flies, and NoSeeums! Clouds of them! I positioned my chair in the smoke and stayed there! The lake was exceptionally high still. No beach to find, just trees in the water! Saturday night was to be a exercise in no sleep! Bugs buzzing, landing, biting ...Okay by 4:30 am we gave up. We made a quick cup of coffee, and drove home. Arrived back home by 8:30 am, fell asleep in the motor home, woke up at 10:00 a.m. and went down town for breakfast! Some wilderness campers hey!

Hi Pam:
I can relate. The bugs are the reason Gerry and I don't go camping. We've done the same thing, packed up in the middle of the night and high tailed for home.
