Weekend Carnage

Over the weekend, I enjoyed a camping trip with Jeff and Ryan. We found an amazing free spot right on the Cle Elum River in the Salmon la Sac area. Not only was it beautiful on the river, but our site was constantly shady which was helpful in the searing heat of Eastern Washington.

Since there was a burn ban in effect, we had to make due with the light of lantern and a citronella candle. The candle, picutured here, was an unfortunate death magnet for hundreds of moths. We awoke the next day to find this gelatinous, wingy, bug mess. But at least they died doing what they loved: flying directing into flames.
