Yellow Jacket swarm on BYT

Hello All! I live on Farmbrook dr and backup to the trail. I wanted to warn people about an angry yellow jacket nest to the far right (right and then right) once you enter from the trail head, not more than a minute past the start.

Might be died down by now but look out!!

A little further in the trail a bit before the poo tracks I got stung on the eyelid last Sunday by a yellow jacket. So looks like there are a few angry swarms.

This time of the year their nests are at the PEAK in populations. STAY AWAY OR ELSE!!!! It really doesn't take much to pi  . THEM OFF and then is ON! Was riding thru the Freedom Park area last week and an Exterminator had 2 nest stirred up and I swear there were 2 to 3K yellow jackets in an area about the size of 2 parking spaces. That guy was running for his LIFE! Very CRAZY aggressive this time of year!

Wow, I must have been really lucky. Just rode BYT this morning. Didn't come across one yellow jacket. I entered around 11:45 and came out around 1:25. I split off to ride PRP whilst in BYT. Love that you can now link to it via the green way.
