Heading over Lamarck Col or Haeckel-Wallace in a week, and was wondering how the mosquitos have been this year. Thanks!

West side, mid to late June, terrible. East side late June to July, a few here and there. Whitney area, Wallace lake area, no problems at all.

Myles:
Was over Lamarck at the end of the 4th weekend, and we used minimal bug juice. Came home with a few bites, but no problems through Darwin Bench or EVO Lake/Muir Pass.
Lower locations (LeConte Canyon) were a bit more trying but unimpressive.
Have a blast! Can't wait to go over the col again in a few weeks.

Thanks, both. No worries for us, Moosetracks, we'll be staying high.

Biadh, honey, you know better than to take the easy ones...
Take a peek to the south when you're up high Myles. You might see a few orange flashes over the next few weeks...
Oh, wait, is that spraying?

Just back from Kearsarge pass, Vidette Lakes, Center Basin, and saw five skeeters total. Crazy for mid July. Also, in case anyone's wondering, University pass is more tedious w/o snow.

Aaand, I must already be baked. Looked at my original post ... I'll be there in 2 weeks, not a week.

Skeeter report for last week/weekend in upper Sabrina Basin. There were a couple at Midnight and Moonlight lakes, but very well behaved--used the juice the first night, but probably didn't need it. It stayed in the sack the rest of the trip.
