Blue Ridge Parkway

Tick City - April 29, 1981
Due to the Linden Research Laboratory and the Breeding Center
for the National Zoological Park (which "housed" various exotic
animals), hiking on the trail adjacent to the area was hazardous
to one's health due to the thousands of ticks in the area. Even in
the heat of spring/summer, long-sleeved shirts and pants were
strongly advised for this portion of the Appalachian Trail.
