I grew up in the central lower peninsula of Michigan, and I am familiar with this area. I imagine there's a lot of bug spray being used here. As a kid I can remember clouds of mosquitoes coming out to feast.

You had to get the timing down right. It wasn't so bad in sunny open areas and early in the am. Late afternoon/evening was miserable. OTOH, during the day you had black flies, no see-ums, and deer flies to entertain you.

Is there a male version of the "Wild Woman of Nature" therapudic events and retreats; e.g. "Wild Men of Nature" or just "Men of (or in) Nature"? Men, of course, have their own issues to deal with that are quite different than women's, but could conceivably be addressed in such a venue.
