Mosquito breeding ground zero

First, SO many mosquito! They were biting through our jeans. This multi lake site has multiple vault toilets that may be just shy of a mile walk. Once we managed to get out on the lake to SUP, they follow you for hundreds of feet. The center of the lake was nice n chill. A no wake zone lake, so the 2 fishing boats were no bother to our manually powered craft.
Many dogs off leash with little concern for those of us with leashed dogs.
Nice mountain views, and some wildlife, saw an otter. Though we heard much more through the night, the heavy steps and gutterall sounds nearby. Too dark to see from within the safety of our tent from mosquito swarms, so we didn't risk it to see what was just beyond our bear fence.
No firepits/grates. Circle some rocks and there ya make it.
