User's notes
all the tracks were covered thick with ants. huge ant nests at intersections. never seen so many ants before. it was hard to get photos because if I stood still I ended up with ants on my legs and as I'm allergic to ants I try not to get bitten too often. Spent all my time straddling the tracks.
