Quick upate - I explored Anahuac NWR on Tuesday but got chased out by the rain. Its a decent little NWR, almost as many gators as Brazos Bend and several access points to East Bay. Virtually no hiking trails though. It seems to be mostly set up for the fishermen & duck hunters.

Need another piece of advice though. Lately I'm encountering a new demon-spawn insect - its a small, brownish, fly-looking bug that is a blood sucker and hurts! (reminds me of the deer flies I encounter when visiting relatives in Idaho/Wyoming) Brazoria and Anahuac NWR seem to have these little beasties is abundance. I've been using a 29% DEET spray and these things seem immune to it. Ideas?
