Hey Guys --
Hey guys -- I tried posting this over in 'Straight Forward' with no hits so I'm going to try to spread it out over here... I am headed out this week going North through Franklin NC. Does anyone know what the bugs (Namely the gnats) are doing out on the trail as of lately? Thanks!

Thats right, no problem, the bugs don't mind us at all, they think most of us taste just like chicken. :banana

I dont even use a bug net. Once the sun goes down the bugs go away and not a mosquito bite this season yet. gnats are out in the daytime when you stop . Horse flies are active but don't seem to be too much of an issue.

Last I heard, some were doing the cha cha while others were doing the rhumba. They just can't get it together.
