Mosquitos Nightmare At Laurel Lakes, Mammoth, CA -

On this adventure we headed up to Laurel Lakes to camp out on the lake, but do to snow, we only made it up about 3/4 of the trail and was force to turn around. We ended up camping on the Laurel Creek, which was awesome except for all the mosquitos.
I have never camped anywhere that the mosquitos where so bad. The only thing I could was to get into my Jeep for the night.

I tried it in July 3 years ago and there was a truck stuck in a patch of snow on the first gravel switchback. They had been digging out for three days. Their friends were camped in the willows below them and shouted encouragement while slinging beers.

When was this trip exactly? I was thinking of going in the next couple of days. I figured the road would be free of snow, but after seeing this I’m questioning it haha. I went up last year in October and had a great couple nights up there
