    Default Ticks are here

    Been hauling pine and hemlock logs out for next year and cutting up and splitting and will let sit in a pile to dry for a while, but being warm out took two ticks off me today. They are alive and well I guess.

    Ticks have been worse than black flies here so far. I haven't found any deer ticks yet, but lots of wood ticks.

    Yup, dropped some hemlock last night and picked some little ones off me. Always nice to spend the next few hours feeling like your skin is crawling.
