I'm officially 8 days late, which means 8 dollars short, or some nonsense riddle.... and someone should take birthday wishing away from me... BUT...

Our very own customer service GURU, Susie, had a birthday last week.

ON BEHALF OF MY SHORTCOMINGS.... please PLEASE wish her a happy belated (very belated) birthday!

I love ur wit, ur humor, and how hard you work with a smile on ur face. You show up most young adults work ethic these days. And I'm soooooo grateful you work here!

Thanks for being YOU.

Completely accurate. Idk if I should laugh or cry.... lol.

When someone asks, “how are the flies?”

I don’t know, ask ‘em yourself!

Yep, it’s fly season at Pictured Rocks. 🪰

Stable flies, which inflict painful bites, are a staple at Pictured Rocks during the summer months, and it’s anyone’s guess as to when they “go away” for the season. They are most abundant on warm days with a wind from the south, as this pushes them onto the lakeshore from the forests south of us.

What can you do to avoid the flies?

🪰 Wear long pants! Check out all the flies on Ranger Daniel! Stable flies love to bite below the knee. Wearing sturdy, long pants can help you steer clear of bites.

🪰 Try a bug net. Bug nets that go over your head can be a hike-saver!

🪰 Don’t rely on sprays. Stable flies are not deterred by bug sprays like mosquitoes are. Long pants are the best way to keep them off of you.

Stay safe out there! And don’t like the stable flies bite!
