Over the Thanksgiving weekend we had the great pleasure of camping with good friends. We went to the Big Cypress Preserve and were happy to see lovely campsites that were both free of occupants and free of charge. There was plenty of room to run and play frisbee, etc. There was plenty of firewood for a campfire. There were nearly-new picnic tables on concrete slabs. There were even concrete structure outhouses (no running water). There was also something else that didn't concern us much, until the next day...
Bugs! We didn't realize how much the bugs were biting until the next day when the evidence became painfully clear. Poor Audrey suffered from hundreds of bug bites that left her swollen and miserable for the entire week to follow. She is strong, but the itchiness really got to her. This is one ordeal she would hate to repeat.
