Hiking in FL in the summer is soooo much fun. I was hiking the Barrs Landing Trail on the eastern shore of Lake George FL and had these bald faced hornets pestering me. These hornets (actually wasp) are rather large and quite intimidating. Also, the horse flies were giving me a hard time too. I was wearing shorts and fortunately I had my high gaiters with me and a long sleeve shirt and was able to cover up. Are hornets and horse flies a problem on the AT?
