At least (I assume) we're still talking mosquito bites, rather than slithery things? We do appreciate your sacrifices for the blog though. Keep spraying.

1 day agoBlack rat snake. You, of course recognized it is harmless. Their temperament can run the whole gamut. I have caught some that are absolutely tame from the first, and others act like they are really burned that you are in the territory and want you out with lots of hissing and striking.

Yes, especially close to DC and Pittsburgh. The farther away from the larger cities, the fewer casual Fri/Sat/Sun riders there were. However, the number of tourers increases on weekends, because there are a number of people who do the entire C&O over a long weekend.

15 hours agoThe impromptu-stop-mosquito-crush incident interests me. Personally, and at the risk of oversharing, I find I can easily drink a litre or more every hour when cycling and not need to stop all day. I've always assumed it's the sweating, because that absolutely wouldn't happen away from bike touring. I need some medical reassurance, now. I feel a bout of hypochondria coming on.
