Re: 2012 Mosquito Reports
Daisy, thanks for that info. I had no idea there were multiple species of mosquitoes, each with its own specialty! (Sort of like doctors.)

Horton Lake 6/9-6/10
June 9-10, Horton Lake: 1
Only a few isolated buggers at our camp about 100 ft from the lake. Temps at night down into the lower 30s, so not warm enough yet for most.

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.
Have a safer backcountry experience by using the HST ReConn Form 2.0, named after Larry Conn, a HST member: http://reconn.org

Re: 2012 Mosquito Reports
Well, I'm glad to know that at least one species are "reluctant blood feeders." I suspect they get a lot of encouragement from their peers, however.

Yosemite Valley 6/2-6/9
Had a few mosquitos in Yosemite Valley...tiny...few trying to bite. Week of June 2-9
June 14...some biting mosquitos at the junction of Treasure Lakes and Bishop Pass trails. By far...the largest and peskiest mosquitos I have endountered this year are at the trailhead parking at South Lake.

Upper Pine-Honeymoon Lakes 6/13-6/15
Just spent a few nights at Upper Pine Lake and Honeymoon Lake. I would rate the mosquitoes a 2, with crazy swarms at dusk. When we first arrived at Upper Pine Lake, there were virtually no mosquitoes. Within about 12 hours, they were pretty vicious.
Does anyone have any experience using anything like lemongrass granules or mosquito coils to try to keep the bugs at bay within a campsite?
It's nice to be on this site!
