mosquitos

[heaubeau]

one of my teachers once told me the Touareg (sp?)  tribe of Northern Africa use Guiness as their mosquito repellent.  Turns out if you are a nomadic desert dweller who only drinks rarely, then two Guiness will knock you out and you don't even notice the mosquitoes.  I plan to use a similar method.

Definitely an option to consider...

I'm guessing wednesday night's rumballs will have the desired effect on me, what with the altitude and the sheer reputation of the stuff

As a kid, we used my grandma's Skin-So-Soft to fight off the mosquitoes... and it really WORKED!!   

Do they still make that stuff?

5 days till Telluride!!!!

Personally, I find that if you keep enough alcohol in your system, the bugs will leave you alone. And if you occasionally get bitten by a stupid bug... well he won't bite anyone else and you won't know that he bit you.

All this talk of mosquitos.  Honestly, I don't recall ever seeing a mosquito in Town Park.  Must be that they don't make the wristbands that small.

Avon makes it, and it does work. Last year the only time I was bothered was when I was setting up my tent and probably disturbed some.  After that they weren't a problem really.  And Sarah, is it Big juice or Bug juice?  Hell you won't read this, you're already there!  I'll see you Monday again.
I have some citronella incense sticks I'm bringing that seem to work well, and some citronella candles in buckets. When they open up the preserve if there are skeeters that's when they will be the most active. 
And as far as scousers hiding in the bushes to steal your drinks, that's probably DukTapeMan!
