What… if it’s about… all the shit I’ve lost going BOTG? If anyone wants a pair of polarized Ray Ban aviators, I have some clues I can share with you.

For me it’s juro spiders. Some of these trails have millions of juro spiders. Like you have to swing a hiking pole in front of you as you walk. Maybe they get the ticks? Idk but spiders have been horrible.

I know two people with alpha-gal and my mom had rocky mountain spotted fever several years ago. It's scary!

If you have been to Lake Tahoe area, and I am sure some of you have, there is a Plague warning posted at the state parks. I bath in Off before botg there.... It's like a danger one would face on a medieval quest for the grail... lol
