Mosquitoes and No See'ums







I need a vote—does anyone find that citronella works for repelling mosquitoes??? You light the little candle in the tin bucket and all you have after an hour is 15 mosquito bites and a cute little mini-pail that you just can’t bring yourself to throw away. Pass me that OFF!





The little annoying insects are everywhere. If I’m with Mr. T I’m generally ok because they prefer his skin to mine. But good grief! I want a bee keeper’s outfit on just to go outside.





Another question—is it just me or does Budweiser taste better than it used to? After a hot day in the 90ies on top of mountains, it really goes down easily. We’re only allowed to have our generator on 3 times a day and the last segment is from 5-7 pm. While we wait to get the A/C running and our dinner cooked, we sat at the picnic table, eye out for bears, downing Buds and lighting citronella candles. It’s an interesting way of life—but I’m starting to miss wifi, A/C, my cell phone, and especially showers with all the hot water I want!





It reminds me of a new road sign I saw today—ROUGH BREAK. Before we could discuss what it meant, we found out! The road breaks and falls in a few inches. Since I take nearly half of my photos from the moving RV/car, I figure I lost about 5 pictures for the blog. Gives a whole new meaning to "Road Pictures."
