Sorry, no pics and good night.

| Counting method? | AK Ken
Jul 15, 2002 12:12 AM | | Did you count by palpation or visually with a mirror?
Or did you just count a sample site and extrapolate?
As I always say about this time of year, ENOUGH OF THESE ANOPHELES!!!
Sympathetically,

| Melts styrofoam, too | AK Ken
Jul 15, 2002 7:25 AM | | A friend learned this the hard way. He and his spousal unit hiked into a backcountry cabin here in Denali NP. The most popular seat for outhouses in Alaska is made from a sheet of rigid styrofoam insulation. Makes those winter visits much more tolerable.
This was a summer visit, though, and the skeeters were fierce. This individual sprayed bug dope all around inside the outhouse before entering, and sprayed the styrofoam seat as well. He apparently spent a significant amount of time on this visit, perched on the styrofoam and using his bug spray like a machine gun as the hordes attacked.
When it came time to do the paperwork, he discovered that he and the seat were now one bonded unit. Try as he might, he could not get himself free from it, so he waddled back to the cabin and endured lots of laughter from his SO, who then RIPPED the seat unceremoniously from the hapless lad's backside, taking varying amounts of hide and hair with it.
