[Philmont] Mosquitoes

We were 627-O1, Trek 33 and made it to both the North and Central areas of
Philmont and never saw any mosquitos. We had deet with us at base camp but
our Ranger told us we didn't need it so we left it in our lockers. This was
my 4th Trek and the only time we needed bug repellant was when it was a wet
spring.
Enjoy your Trek!
