bites on the Main Salmon

Just got off a great trip down the Main. 2.0 at Corn Creek, Thurs. 10th. Was wondering if anyone knows what kind of bug is bad at Ground Hog. Probably have 30 bites, causing a small (1/4") red bite, itches like he!!.
Never saw, noticed anything until bites started itching.

Dat der sounds like a sand flea...or a chigger
I was up there a few weeks ago. We saw a few mosquitos and I had a few bites around my ankles and feet. Not bad. I've never experienced noseeums or sand fleas on the MS before. I grew up in Florida where both are terrible.
another awesome whitewater rafting thread...

No one cares what you think jackass. Go back down to the basement and do your chores before your parents get home from work and you get grounded again.

It's real simple: don't click/open any threads that you might not care to read.

I had to come out of the basement to drain the water out of my cooler... and let some air out of my blow up chair because I'll be taking it upstairs later when my mom goes to bed... I don't want it to pop. I'm going to go up there and research trailer tires and bimini tops for my class II float next weekend in my 26' walmart poverty raft. Should I use dry ice or would regular ice work? Where should I mount my coleman cooler? Do you prefer ratchet strap tie downs or can I use home depot rope? I also have 6 extra oars where should I mount them? Do I need a signaling kit for the grand canyon?

Unlike you if I wasn't currently at work I'd be boating instead of posting about more bullshit on mountainbuzz.. and for inferring I'm young you sure did resort to name calling quickly.
I can't believe they give you so much online time at KFC. You must be a shift manager - moving up the ladder...

Refer to the latter part of my previous post - just after the first insult, and you'll find the key to future never ending happiness. It's pretty simple.

I think your disrespect and wise ass nature speaks for itself.

I remember when you joined this site. You asked all kinds of questions too. Give the same respect to the community as you were given.

By the way how is Westminster?
Why do kayakers read rafter threads anyway? It just makes them cranky.

You too, hold the key to unending happiness and are dispensing it in generous fashion. Kindred souls think alike. Lol!

I wish I could dispense unending happiness.....I'd be rich and could retire. Then I could be on the river all the time, instead of shooting the bull with my rafter brethren until my next trip. :D

Really? What questions did I ask that were similar to "what bug bite does this look like?" on a whitewater forum. Also, he has been paddling since 1987... and he isn't new to the site.

Westminster is lovely. The people that own the KFC here are so friendly. I was just promoted to custodial engineer. Life is grand.
Maybe we can create a subforum titled "pansy ass flatwater rafters that don't really get on the water" for you all to talk about your coolers and bug bites.

Reading rafting threads about gore interests me... it's whitewater. That's what belongs here, not this bullshit.
ooh, this is fun.
Ehhh… not anywhere near as much entertainment as I was hoping. These lame rafters can't even internet battle well. My 48 hour shift is almost over though and then I get to paddle. :cool:
Are you sure it was a bug or a cougar? They could leave an itch too ;)

Thanks for keepin' it real StreetDR!! That's what the Buzz should be...

A real rafter would rub some mud on it...or scratch it til it bleeds and apply alcohol liberally...problem solved. Duct tape has magical healing powers as well...got me through the Grand on more than one occasion.

I have too many beers to keep cold in my monstrous cooler I lug down the river to waste ice on BS like this.

Peace!
