AuburnJen 771 Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Once the holiday is over, you will have a wonderful time.However,You need to make sure you are prepared for the yellow flies. If you are susceptible to mosquito bites, find the yellow fly thread here on the public discussion board and it will give you suggestions on what to bring to combat them. They leave nasty welts on me and that is why we won't go on Memorial Day Weekend anymore. This is also one of the reasons the Fiends have a major grand gathering in another location that weekend as well. Check the grand gathering thread and trip reports to see what I mean.And finally, welcome to Snarkiville! You are going to love it here! :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stefa70 205 Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Welcome to the forum Lizzy!! We do an annual Memorial Day trip for the last 20 years. Saturday and Sunday are a mad house at the fort and the parks, but the days before and after are pretty quiet. Last year the yellow flies were horrible!! This year we only saw a couple, though I hear they have gotten worse in the last few weeks.If you go to the trip report section you can read my trip report: Memorial Day Madness at the fort. Hope to see you there next year! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
