Hopefully you only have a couple of freckles!

Thanks for the info and the colorful responses. It is all welcome. This will be my first visit to the area, any suggestions. I have been climbing longer than anyone else down there I am sure, so please no lectures about skill and experience requirements.

Spiders and snakes are OK, but the millipedes are SCARY. I believe you are correct about them being poisonous.

Thanks. I usually carry a bottle of 100% DEET anyway. I will send my son on the route first to check out for snakes.

I will be visiting Red River Gorge in a couple of weeks for the first time. How are the mosquitos and black flies? Any other bugs to worry about? Advice and suggestions welcomed. How is the weather this time of year?
