Day 35: Wednesday, July 7th

The mosquitoes at our campground at Cripple Creek were pretty bad last night. They were so bad Scott brought out the incredibly adorable mosquito mask.  We threw everything into the van as fast as we could and went back to where we had dinner, Chatanika River.  Now when I say we I really mean Scott.  I helped pack things up, but Scott was the one who put up the tent in the mosquito storm last night and took it down this morning.  He said that the mosquitoes were fighting for position on his hands because that was the only skin exposed.  Bonus to mosquito land: we had the campground to ourselves.
