HEY...I'VE SEEN BIGFOOT...and their boners are nothing to sneeze at. One came toward me about 20 years ago when i was sunning myself at a nudist resort. I told him to go get a haircut THEN come back and talk to me...HE DID...and WOW...HIS boner was AT LEAST...10 or 12 inches...and a pretty hefty size to it at that. HE just wanted to talk...and I FOR ONE...was VERY RELIEVED.
Hilarious!
I've met two idiots who said they saw Sasquatch in remote woods of Northern California and way up White River, WA. Clearly hallucinating.
Nothing scary up there but bears, coyotes, and hungry hordes of mosquitoes and deer flies so thick they turn your shirt black.
The Napeequa Wilderness Area, including the White River, is famous for mosquitoes and deer flies.
From the air, the Napeequa Valley looks like a tantalizing, green stripe surrounded by dry, brown mountains. Creeks, lakes, rivers, ponds, swampy areas = breeding ground for biting insects.
It's north of Lake Wenatchee, WA. Lovely. Go in the Fall after deep frost kills the bugs.
@LiterateHiker BEAUTIFUL pics...ONE THING I HATE...is biting insects...I can't stand those little rascals.
My hiking motto since age 21:
Don't Slog in the Bog- Get High on the Ridges
There's wind up on that ridge! No bugs.
After being bit by over 300 tiny spiders in 1996, I have an allergic reaction to insect bites.
Sawyer Permethrin Insect Spray on my hat, clothes and pack makes me a walking Mosquito Hate Zone. Other hikers have a personal cloud of mosquitoes. Not me.
I also put Deet insect spray on exposed skin. A thin bug net over my hat and shoulders works. Also gloves, long pants and gaiters.

What is the name of those patches? I could use them.
Thank you!
