Buggy-Bad Experience
Lake Metigoshe State Park的点评
点评：The Osprey Cabin (Lake Metigoshe State Park) can provide and amazing experience to those who enjoy a more isolated and primitive experience - but not always. Based on my extensive experience staying at the Osprey Osprey, I can say confidently that it has always suffered from a fly problem (bugs with wings). This problem is normally a moderate nuisance and with some considered "swatting" you can drive the population down to tolerable levels. This, however, was not the case for my outing when we stayed there in November. The problem lies in the fact that when the outdoor temps begin to drop as the colder Fall temperatures move in, the flies move toward the warmest location which is the Osprey Cabin where they attempt to enter. Unfortunately, in my opinion after observing the situation, they enter the cabin through the ventilated metal soffit over the front deck and then work their way inward toward the warmer conditions. Then, once the temperature drops again at night, they go into hibernation - yes, hibernation. Most folks just think they die when the temps drop. If you arrive on a cold Fall afternoon and start up the wood burning stove they become active again and begin to take over the indoor environment - sometimes by the tens but in our November case by the hundreds to thousands. Another problem is that the flies that move into the cabin seek refuge under the upper bunk mattresses because it's warmer up high and more insulative under the thick protection. They are also up in the ceiling beam area. As soon as you warm up the cabin they emerge in force. We killed and removed at least 200 flies from under both upper mattresses so we ended up taking them out of the cabin into the cold and then sanitizing them with Clorox wipes. Just imagine sleeping on those upper mattresses and not knowing about the insects beneath them. To survive we let our wood-burning stove fire go out and slept in the cold. The cold temperatures put the critters back into hibernative mode so we were good through the nightime. As the cabin warmed up the following day, though, the problem became even worse until we were faced with a situation that reminded me of an Alfred Hitchcock movie. The only cure was to hike back out, go into town, buy two cans of interior safe Raid and another can of Clorox wipes, then hike back in again and spray the interior of the cabin down several times. We moved all our belongings outside before spraying and then sat outside for hours. That's the frustration. We paid to stay in the cabin yet were forced to sit outside most of the day. When we finally left, we stopped by the Park Office and described our horror story to the Park Attendant on duty - a very kind and understanding lady who took notes, listened carefully and asked us to send photos, which we did. We did humbly ask for the consideration of a refund and she said she would forward our information and request to the proper people. 3 weeks later we received a denial. So here's the thing . . . The Osprey Cabin can be a great place to stay but one must come prepared. I personally would bring a fly swatter, a can of raid or two, and then maybe avoid the Fall season altogether - especially if your spouse or children are wanting to come along. They may not be comfortable with the possibility of unhealthy and intolerable conditions. During most seasons the flies are manageable but the Fall can be the exception - you need to be aware of this in advance. Whenever you come, be sure to bring an entire canister of wet wipes or similar and wipe down the mattresses, table, benches, etc. thoroughly. And BE SURE to check under the upper mattresses before sleeping on them. You may want to spray indoor-safe bug spray throughout the cabin and then just walk away for a while before entering. You'll have to be the judge. I'm not suggesting that you avoid the cabin. I have stayed there tons of times and still intend on staying there again - though in the future I will be better prepared. It’s certainly a tough decision if you have traveled a long distance to stay there and with the 4:00pm check-in time, the sun will have set by the time the cabin warms and the flies emerge. And, if you do decide to leave early because of the intolerable conditions, there are likely no refunds, and the office will be closed, anyway, by the time you exit the park. You will thus risk losing both nights of your rental fee. The cabin has a lot to offer but, as I said, you must be prepared - especially in the Fall.
翻译：Osprey Cabin（Lake Metigoshe State Park）可以为那些喜欢更偏僻、更原始体验的人提供令人惊叹的体验 - 但并非总是如此。根据我在 Osprey Osprey 的丰富经验，我可以自信地说，它一直受到苍蝇（有翅膀的虫子）的困扰。这个问题通常是一种中等程度的滋扰，通过一些适当的“拍打”，您可以将苍蝇数量降至可容忍的水平。然而，当我们 11 月在那里住的时候，情况并非如此。问题在于，当室外温度随着寒冷的秋季气温的到来而开始下降时，苍蝇会向最温暖的地方移动，也就是它们试图进入的 Osprey Cabin。不幸的是，在我看来，在观察了这种情况后，它们会通过前甲板上的通风金属拱腹进入小屋，然后向内移动到更温暖的地方。然后，一旦夜间温度再次下降，它们就会进入冬眠 - 是的，冬眠。大多数人只是以为温度下降时苍蝇就会死掉。如果你在寒冷的秋天下午到达并启动燃木炉，它们就会再次活跃起来并开始占领室内环境 - 有时只有几十只，但在我们 11 月的案例中，有数百只甚至数千只。另一个问题是，进入小屋的苍蝇会躲在上铺床垫下，因为上铺更暖和，厚厚的保护层更保暖。它们也在天花板横梁区域。一旦你让小屋变暖，它们就会成群结队地出现。我们从两个上铺床垫下杀死并清除了至少 200 只苍蝇，所以我们最终将它们从小屋带到寒冷的地方，然后用 Clorox 湿巾对它们进行消毒。想象一下，睡在那些上铺床垫上，却不知道下面有昆虫。为了生存，我们让燃木炉的火熄灭，在寒冷中睡觉。寒冷的气温让这些小动物重新进入冬眠模式，所以我们整个晚上都很好。然而，第二天，随着小屋变暖，问题变得更加严重，直到我们面临的情况让我想起了阿尔弗雷德·希区柯克的电影。唯一的解决办法是徒步返回，进城，买两罐室内安全防潮喷雾和一罐Clorox 湿巾，然后再徒步返回，对小屋内部喷洒几次。我们在喷洒前将所有物品搬到外面，然后在外面坐了几个小时。这就是令人沮丧的地方。我们付了钱住在小屋里，却被迫在外面坐了一整天。当我们终于离开时，我们去了公园办公室，向值班的公园服务员描述了我们的恐怖故事——一位非常善良和善解人意的女士，她做了笔记，仔细听取了我们的意见，并要求我们发送照片，我们照做了。我们确实谦虚地要求考虑退款，她说她会将我们的信息和请求转发给合适的人。3 周后，我们收到了拒绝。所以事情是这样的……Osprey Cabin 是一个很棒的住宿地点，但你必须做好准备。我个人会带上苍蝇拍、一两罐杀虫剂，然后可能完全避开秋季——尤其是如果你的配偶或孩子也想一起来的话。他们可能对不健康和无法忍受的环境感到不舒服。在大多数季节，苍蝇都是可以控制的，但秋季可能是例外——你需要提前意识到这一点。无论你什么时候来，一定要带上一整罐湿巾或类似的东西，彻底擦拭床垫、桌子、长凳等。在睡觉之前，一定要检查上层床垫下面。你可能想在整个小屋里喷洒室内安全的杀虫剂，然后走开一会儿再进去。你必须自己判断。我并不是建议你避开小屋。我在那里住过很多次了，仍然打算再住一次——不过，将来我会准备得更充分。如果你长途跋涉来到此地，而入住时间是下午 4:00，那么太阳就会落山，小屋就会变暖，苍蝇就会出现，这肯定是一个艰难的决定。而且，如果你因为无法忍受的条件而决定提前离开，很可能不会退款，而且当你离开公园时，办公室也会关闭。因此，你可能会损失两晚的租金。小屋有很多东西可以提供，但正如我所说，你必须做好准备——尤其是在秋天。
