Note to all clans setting up camp on opening weekend...

[Blue66669]

Please keep in mind that in the off season, there has been an epic inundation of ants. Please remember to rake your site, as well as spread loads of ant killer. Also, there have been sightings of snakes in participants camp, as well as some areas with ticks. The mosquitoes have been like small birds of prey, as well. Protect yourself!!!

SWEET!  You're always full of good news, Blue! 

[Bonny Pearl]

Thanks for the Snake Alert!  Yikes!   

[Lady Kett]

THIS is why I camp at hotels! But you're a doll for pointing it out for the campers Blue! Can't wait to see you again!

These work like a champ. We do need more ant killer though.

[Taarna]

Thank you for the reminder Blue!! JP usually handles that stuff and I am so busy trying to think of other things that I would have completely forgotten protection against buggies and whatnots!

Wasps are especially bad out there this year. The big red ones & the black-reds.

[Bonny Pearl]

Well hopefully now that we are seeing some cooler weather the buggers will start going dormant soon!  Especially the wasps! 

[KiltedPrivateer]

Lets hope so - But I picked up some outdoor foggers just in case.  I know our arbors are generally nets for bees.  This year they're gonna get fogged
