Re: [at-l] GEAR questions!
Yesterday when the gnats were really annoying me while I was cutting the
grass I came in and plastered myself with Skin So Soft, then went back
outside. It seemed to make no difference whatsoever. I live in the NC mts.
so am assuming they are the same ol' Southern gnats you'd deal with on the
AT. DEET, if gotten in my eyes by mistake, is one bad deal!!!
