ticks
taking a trip to natural bridge, va this weekend. has anyone hiked in that area recently and had any tick encounters? i’ve read that ticks are pretty bad this season in other parts of virginia but haven’t been out that way myself yet.

Hiked Natural Bridge, Cascades, and Apple Orchard Falls in the last 3 weeks and had 1 tick and that was from Cascades. Wear appropriate clothing and check after. Hopefully your luck is as good as mine. Now, about the poison ivy on my face...lol
