On my last day of fall vacation, I hiked Little Talbot Island. I thought I had bug spray in my trunk, but discovered when I got there that I didn’t. It was unfortunate, because there were approximately two billion mosquitos on the trail. I swatted them away for about two thirds of a mile and almost turned back, but then thought about the beach blanket in my backpack. I draped it over my shoulders and arms and it worked perfectly! Then I only had to swat around my face. Luckily, they mostly stayed away from my face as long as I kept moving. When I took out my lunch once I got to the beach, lo and behold, I found two cans of bug spray at the bottom of my backpack. It’s good to be prepared.
