Right after I had posted the previous post, I was scratching the back of my neck and found something that shouldn’t have been there.
Spotted Tick
I haven’t had a tick in probably 5 years. Fortunately, I caught her before she bit.

Notes from the wilderness
hatehatehate ticks! 🙁
we tend to avoid the mountainsides around here where they are known to be; the south faces (where the bighorn hang out) are tick-y, whereas the north faces (where the deer hang out, oddly enough) seem to be less tick-prone.
they are one of the only reasons i resort to chemical means of repellent; the stuff made from pyrethrins seems to be effective, and luckily it only gets applied to clothing, not skin.
yuck! ticks!
