Duck Pass-Deer Pass-Mammoth Crest
July 18:
Did the Emerald Lake - Duck Pass - Deer Pass/Lakes - Mammoth Crest - Lake George - Emerald Lake loop. Skeeters were maybe a 1... maybe! I should also mention it was quite windy at times, but we never saw or heard one buzzing.
July 19:
Spent the day doing SUP/kayaking on June Lake... skeeters didn't exist at all while we were there and it was quite lovely!

Re: 2015 Mosquito Reports
7/30 - 8/3
Lost Lake, Roaring River, Tamarack Lake/Elizabeth Pass Jct, and Alta Meadow - 1
The only camp that might have been 1+ was Big Bird Lake at dusk.
Never used the headnet or deet I brought.
