John hikes up in May through the field to Signal Hill in western New Hampshire

John hikes up the field section of trail. It is beautiful terrain, but also scarily full of ticks. Grabbing a ride on my pants was a dog tick (big and black), a deer tick (smaller and brown) and a baby tick (miniscule) -- wow, I'd never seen all three of these at once! By the end of the hike John and I had each thrown off more than a dozen ticks, and yet I still found a couple more during the drive home and even two more inside my house. Yuck.
