mosquitoes biting my ankles I forgot to apply repelent down there.

A couple of dog walkers showed up at sun up... I asked if they could avoid walking past me so not to scare off the birds, but insisted to do so. I informed them that dogs/pet are not allowed in National Parks except in certain locations. Anyway they didn't believe me so while they scared off the birds and let their dogs swim I Googled the Biscayne National park site and found the info. I showed it to them on their way out.... It would be nice to add a sign on the big sign "No Pets allowed past this point!"
