Those were some banner years for them I remember at night when it was quiet you could hear the damn things devouring the trees and shitting.

Ugh, I remember in the mid-80s, Saskatchewan had a horrible outbreak of tent caterpillars. Those fuckers and their webs were fucking everywhere. It was wretched. And they devoured tree leaves like crazy. I hope that's not what you're dealing with because your summer will be officially ruined.

Hello,
The correct expression is "It was as sweaty and moist as a Louisiana televangelist here today." Trust me, they sweat like no other for a variety of reasons.

Well, it’s Midwestern humid, not southeastern.

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
Yeah, I dont think its ever gotten that bad there again. I want to say that was probably around 82 to 85 roughly.
Thos tents were everywhere and I want to say they preceded the gypsies during the season. The gypsies were nasty because they would just be on random sticks on the ground that you might pick up and they were a bit spikey

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
Our bad tent caterpillar summer, I remember being at a friend's cabin at the lake. Very basic set-up, no plumbing. So there was an outhouse and those fuckers were all over the outhouse. Just miserable all around.revbob wrote: ↑24 May 2021, 8:40amYeah, I dont think its ever gotten that bad there again. I want to say that was probably around 82 to 85 roughly.
