It seems the bugs have taken over. Hikers all over VanIsle are swatting and struggling and itching their way up the trail.
Why? It could be the cool, wet spring. There were lots of puddles for the bugs to breed in. Then the hot weather gave them a chance to really explode.

The one takeaway? Bring your bug spray.
