I just got back from Edmonton Canada last night. Had time to get some caches while I was there. Still need to log them. There are a couple good and bad things about the great north. o It does not get dark until about 11:30pm in the summer - Good o The caches were in beautiful areas - Good o The caches were near beautiful lakes and creeks - Good?? / Water = Mosquitoes - Bad o The mosquitoes were the worst I have ever seen. They were huge, hungry and could be worn like a coat. - Very bad o There are products like Off and Cutters - Very Good I stopped at a quick shop to pick up some Off spray for $7.00 (Priceless). The woman at the counter asked if one can would be enough? I told her I was leaving tomorrow. She said,"That may be enough." The Off saved a lot of my blood. She also told me I should come back when the mosquitoes get real bad. I believe Alaska caching would be the same. Bring spray you will need it.
