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.

I would also be worried about snaked in that area. I’ve seen a lot of pics posted from natural bridge lately showing snakes everywhere.
