Man, do I hear you about the mosquitoes! They were INSANE this year from all the late rains. I was just writing to let you know that this year was a freak one and they are normally not that bad. Both my husband and I couldn&#39;t believe it since we have both been multiple times in the past. If you have the opportunity to go again, you really should. Camping in the park is incredible and there are a lot of wonderful pictures of the surrounding mountains when you don&#39;t feel like you are being eaten alive :)Granola Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04249655831923837855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8590336750289825897.post-45606718267766913022009-07-13T10:00:35.927-07:002009-07-13T10:00:35.927-07:00Hi Betchai...Visiting you here again and and taking time admiring the wonderful sceneries here!<br /><br />Hope you have a great week ahead!!<br /><br /><br />Debbie :)DebbieDanahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10481602485863972546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8590336750289825897.post-76495936022686964932009-07-13T08:17:40.051-07:002009-07-13T08:17:40.051-07:00Your shots are beautiful but the mosquitoes!!!
