After a last minute decision to head north instead of south because of better weather we headed up the highway on a much longer 5+ hour drive. We hadn’t been north on a trip in almost 20 years, partly due to the drive but more so because of the mosquitos.we enjoyed the ride and it felt like part of the adventure. Getting close to our destination we pulled over to stretch our legs and we’re immediately swarmed by the mosquitos. I had a bad feeling because my wife hates them and I thought we may have made a mistake.
We got to the put in, loaded up and took off. The bug spray was working for me but my wife needed her head net and gloves. We got to the portage after a couple miles. Somebody was camped there. They were not around but their two dogs were. They weren’t tied down and didn’t like us being there. I didn’t feel threatened but my wife did especially after one dog growled at us. Between that and the bugs her anxiety level was high. We got loaded up and headed out to find a campsite relieved to leave the dogs behind who never left us alone.
