Tok, Alaska - August 5, 2010

The Westmark Inn is in an area of trees and sand. When we arrived some men were spraying around an area near one of the buildings. It looked like a insecticide fog. As I wrote in the previous post, the mosquitos and no-see-ums (also known as white-socks) were in abundance, getting in our faces, in the car, and in the motel room. Donna had purchased a "bug zapper" in Soldatna that looks like a small tennis racket. It uses two batteries and has a wire grid that "zaps" the bugs when they touch it. The result is a satisfying "snap" or two and the bugs are ash. We used it in the motel room to clear out any flyers that had come in. Quite entertaining and useful.
