Green

I ran this on 6/22 to 6/26 with 2300 on the release from flaming George and 11000 flowing down the Yampa. I think they should rename the Green River the Mosquito River as they were so thick and numerous that literally bug spray helped but did not stop them. We were wearing our cold gear to keep us covered up despite the temps in the 80's. Enjoying a campfire was out of the question. And when the Mosquito's were not eating us the skunks were raiding out food. If you leave food out the skunks will get it. I am not making excuses we should have picked up all our food but just be warned anything left out the skunks will get. Pack it all away. Also just being on the water was not helpful as the Mosquitoes were right there with us floating down the river in the middle of the current. Only in the biggest rapids was this not true. You have been warned. What i said was true for all our campsites Jones Hole 3, Rippling Brook 1 and Pot Creek 2.
