Eighteen of us hiked into Brandy Lake on a hot, humid July morning. After a hasty lakeside lunch, we beat it back to the cars while playing “slap and tickle” with the deer flies. Several of us reduced the population of those pesky critters a bit by catching them with sticky tape on our hats. Apparently height is an advantage in that contest, because Dick Blanchard bagged the most.
