Don’t eat bananas. For whatever reason, mosquitoes are attracted to something that is in the bananas that is still noticeable to them long after you’ve eaten one. I’ll look it up again and see if I can’t figure out why…

Also – mosquitoes are attracted to carbon dioxide – if at all possible, avoid exhaling.

When money is available, I’d like to obtain a survey quality GPS. I was watching a fellow from the Waukesha water department walk around with one and take coordinates on where all the lateral valves were by the side walks. It fit in a backpack and had a nice tall antenna to keep it above his head.

Those survey-grade GPS’s are nice, but the ones I’ve tested were a bit cumbersome – you’ve got that backpack, a boom antenna, and a nice hefty brick of a battery to power the thing. (We use them in conjunction with a Geographical Information Systems project where I work…)

Besides, what’s the fun of hunting if you can get within 3 inches of your target… You’ll wind up in the wrong spot almost all the time 🙂

Thanks for remembering the name – that’s bender park… It shows up on the milwaukee county parks web page… Perhaps I’ll take a drive over there and see if it’s accessable, and if it is, I’ll call the county parks dept and find out if it’s open to the public or not..
