-----Original Message----- From: Joyce, Thomas F. [SMTP:TJoyce_at_bellboyd.com] >> Wow. I paddled there over three days on Memorial Day weekend. All conditions were pleasant. I was particularly struck by the total absence of mosquitoes, which I attributed to the tardy spring. >> This was the worst I had ever seen. Normally the Apostles are relatively bug-free when I paddle there. Dana Dickson sent me a link for info on the flies. Apparently, the appearance of the flies and tent caterpillars together was no coincidence, since the flies (called "friendly" flies because they do not bite readily) lay their eggs in the caterpillars. In that respect, they do us a service. >> That Holiday Service station must be a focal point. Doesn't it have the Burger King in the back? On my last evening, after about a 17 mile paddle, at about 11 pm, two double decker cheeseburgers and a large shake really hit the spot. >> Must be a different Holiday station. This one has a little food area, but no Burger King.
