That's what I do. Attract mosquitos, large and small.

Speaking of that incident, I ran the trail around Burke Lake today, and I was just thinking about that day...

I haven't made any reservations or seen if they are available yet. I think Tess took that responsibility last year, maybe she can enlighten as to what we need to do.

Someplace with plenty of shade sounds nice.
I don't want to burn.


Bull Run Park charges a fee per car doesn't it?
