The little devils just swarm you as soon as you step outside or linger for only a moment. You don't feel them bite, but the after effects are very real. Some people react badly and welt up, but I just get little red bumps that itch like crazy. They are like misquotes, but I think worse. Lately, I've been going outside as little as possible during the days here unless I'm running off to the Durango mountains where there are no gnats. It is my new favorite town because it has everything- cool small city, good beer, awesome people and unlimited potential for wilderness and adventure.
These were taken on a mountain in the backyard of the guy I couchsurf with. Anyone want to move here with me? How can you pass up such incredible hiking right in your backyard? And this was just the tip of the iceberg. There are National Forests, excellent climbing, awesome rafting/kayaking and even hot springs (going there next week..stay tuned for updates). I love it here :-)
