Chiggers. I think. Walking through tall grasses between alpine forests while scoping out a couple water sources. Wore sneakers (screw up number 1) because I didn't think we'd be hiking for an hour an half, and didn't use my DEET bugspray beforehand (screw up number 2) because I figured this hike would be like the others...on a decently-kept trail. Wrongo. First time we actually needed a machete to get anywhere, nobody used them. Dense brush, mud, good times if you're dressed for it. I wasn't, and now I have 26 pustules on my right ankle and foot, and 12 on the left that are just begging to burst on me. The two near my pinky toe are about 2 millimeters tall right now. They didn't get above my knees, thankfully.

Anyway, just a short post to whine about the insane itching I gots on my feets. All is well otherwise.
