Resupply part 4

I pushed on, knowing the trail followed a long meadow full of bugs but not having a better option. I tried running, but how do you run away from a never ending cloud? I hit a creek ford, and not thinking straight because of my rage I stopped to take my shoes off instead of just drowning myself then and there, or atleast just charging through in my shoes. Now yelling my curses outloud to the world I started across the thigh deep water. It was too far across to throw my shoes, so now I'm defensless with one hand holding shoes, one hand holding hiking poles and the rest of my body above water holding a carpet of mosquitos... could it get any more fun you ask? In between curses I inhale a lung full of bugs and start choking and coughing my way across this creek in the middle of nowhere... GGGGAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH! Luckily it was all too much and I broke down in laughter - ah yes, hard to find much more wilderness adventure than that... Anyways, hopefully you all can have a laugh on me...
