Still crossing the water, a very slow fall in the river:

At least we're not paddling. Don't like seeing the snakes cruise by being that low in the water. The snakes, mosquitos, and fire ants are out in droves - unbelievable. The road that runs along the Vermilion (Wilderness Trail) around here still has water on it in places as well as in some folk's homes - still.

Also, lots of very large horse flies around. When they bite, it hurts. These large horse flies remind me of the ones in Texas, roughly an inch or more long. As kids, we would catch them and tie sewing thread on them and fly them like kites.
