Use the following scale to report the severity of the mozzies you experience:
0 - No mosquitoes
1 - They were present but not biting yet
2 - Very light during the day, moderate at dawn and dusk
3 - Moderate during the day, heavy at dawn and dusk
4 - Heavy during the day, heavy at dawn and dusk
5 - Unbearable all day, no breaks, cannot eat outside the tent. If you stop, hundreds will descend on you; looking through a camera viewfinder, you see more skeeters than a lake. If you slapped your arm, you'd smear blood from all the dead gorged bodies.
Please do not post questions or ask about a particular area in this thread; any off-topic comments will be deleted.
Please include where you went, with dates included, in the "Subject" box. Thanks

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.
