Went for an hour hike tonight just outside Kamloops and pulled four ticks of me. Three while out there and one in my shirt at home. I wasn't really surprised except for the fact that I was in boot deep snow most of the time and made an effort to stay away from bush and trees. Can't get away from them I guess. Time to get in the habit of undressing at the truck again and grooming like a monkey with your hiking buddies!!
