Grand Canyon of the tuolumne June 11-14

Pate Valley June 11th - 2 They were there but not really biting
Muir Gorge Cathedral Creek area June 12th - 2-3, smalls swarms would come and go, a little feet and they left us alone
Glen Aulin June 13th - 3 About the same amount as the day before but more hungry. Deet kept them at bay
Tuolumne Meadows - 1 Not an issue and not sure I even saw 1

Overall there were blood suckers present but defiantly not that active...phew

Dusy Basin: 2-3.5, the lower elevation the worse, the last day the upper lakes became 1 with wind.
Palisade Basin / Barrett Lakes: 2-3.

Loop in Emigrant Wilderness from Crabtree trailhead to Emigrant Lake via Piute Meadow and Deer Lake, return via Woods Lake and Grouse Lake. Mosquitos were a 4 on the above scale. Within a few miles near the trailhead where it is drier, they were fine/absent. However, elsewhere where it is quite wet they were constant throughout the day and night, even some at 5:00 am but worst in the evening. Bearable during midday. It was warm and fairly windless this weekend, so that didn't help.

Lassen Volcanic NP, June 12th - 14th, Summit Lake loop via Horseshoe Lake, Snag Lake, and Twin Lakes

Mosquito score 1.5

Very minimal during day, light during dusk. I ended up with several bites, no protection used except long sleeves at night.
