More Tractor Tires Than Any Orienteering Map?

Or maybe more tractor tires per square kilometer than any orienteering map in the USA.

What happens two weeks after the 500 year flood? The mosquitoes go wild. They're everywhere, they're everywhere! They haven't been a problem since early Spring, but today they were whining around my ears. It was cool enough to wear a coat, so at least I didn't get bit.

Here's another view of the flood bathtub ring, this time over on the west side of the big bend. You can see the mud coated leaves partway up this small tree. There was a lot of water down in here.

You might think there aren't any woods down in the bend of the river, but there's plenty. I spent my time today wandering about in the flat trees. It can be tough to orienteer in deep woods without contour lines. Plenty of ditches and gullies.
