 campfire popcorn-- it worked!!!!
 mosquitos were terrible!..... repellant is out EVERYWHERE, as well as fans.  The weather and skeeters have been unusal so fans and spray are like gold.  I managed to find a jackpot and was a lil scared, fearing a mugging of bug spray when walking 12 cans to my truck!!!

 a drooling dad!
 just a passenger... for now!
 Eagle River
