Easiest travel
We regrouped, gathering gear and personnel in preparation for
leaving. I found that the easiest way to travel was to walk in the lake. On land, I felt bad
about walking on
the Drosera filiformis seedlings; also the ground was busy with fire ants.
I think
the ants were agitated by the rising lake water. Some were floating in the lake---occasionally I
encountered a swimming ant that was all too happy to sting me!
