I forgot to mention yesterday that as I was walking back to the car yesterday in the Mt Sunday area, I heard a tremendous hum and looked up and in front of me to see a swarm of wasps so dense that it looked like a large moving shadow--there were hundreds of them. It was terrifying. The mountain beech have a black moss that grows all over the trunks and the wasps seek out the sap underneath the moss. They then bring it back to their nests. Evidently it is one of the dangers in the area and the DOC cautions anyone traveling in the area to be aware of the nests and the swarms. I froze in my steps and wondered just how fast I could run to the car before being attacked. Thank God they moved on to the brush area to the north.
Also, I haven't kept you up on new vocabulary: scroggin (trail mix)
The wind is blowing hard and a northwesterly storm is coming in. Tomorrow we are heading to the east coast for a couple of days (Gore Bay) to just chill. I have still not recovered from the stomach flu--it tore me up something bad! We need a couple of days of sea air and nothing to do. xo Linny
