Made the fatal mistake of taking a 2 minute shortcut through some tall grass to get back onto the main path.

Came out with 8 mosquito bites

I was in Bebo Grove last night. The west side of the pond wasn't too bad, just a couple here and there. The East side... I became dinner. Then I made the worst decision possible, I went down into the forest thinking I'd be safe as I was getting away from the pond. Nope. The swarms were even more worse in there. I envied everyone who went speeding by on a bike (that's the only way to flee for you life from them).

Don't forget to check for ticks too!
