But while canoeing on the French River early in July, 2011, at 09:30 pm sharp we were attacked by swarms of mosquitos. In spite of using Deet, it was impossible to stay outside--and we loved sitting around the campfire till past midnight. That's why we had to totally alter our schedule--instead of starting the campfire at 9:30 pm, we started it before 8:00 pm, grilled our steakes, had our supper and by 9:30 were safely in our tent.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01119054699374924586noreply@blogger.com
