Made camp in a forest today and there were more bugs. There are small flies and many more mosquities. My repellant works OK.
Pizza for supper! Very good!
The forest here is incredibly lush. The floor is completely carpeted with a sort of soft spongy moss that seems to immediately cover anything that falls. I saw no bare wood or ground, every inch of ground seems covered by something growing. The thickness of the forest is such that it would be nearly impossible to pass through with a pack if there is no trail. There are wild roses everywhere and the rose hips are nearly ripe. The bears will be feasting here soon. These roses are covered with thousands of very small and very sharp thorns. Ouch!
