Joe,

We have so many fires here that it has been weeks since the sun has been really bright. But I remember as a kid back on my GrandFather's farm in Arkansas just getting covered with chiggers and ticks. How I hated those things. I have heard some people say they have seen some ticks here but I have never seen one in all of my hiking in the canyons and scrounging through the brush to get to the old mines and stuff. And I don't miss them at all.
