I recently ask if anyone had done the Cathedral lakes hike in Yosemite.Well I have since returned and I am proud to say I did do the Cathedral lakes hike. The hike for me was a little bit hard since I have 25-30lbs of camera gear on my back.The one thing that was unreal though were those DAMN mosquitoes. Wow when I reached the upper lake I got to a large granite shelf and thought that the mosquitoes would not bother me.WRONG!!! They were so bad I could not open up my camera bag or even set up my tripod.I took a hand held picture. I was so pissed,I walked 4 miles with a heavy camera bag only to have some mosquitoes ruin it. I have never been swarmed like that before by any animal or pest before.
