Last minute suggestion: bring some old newspapers to stuff in your wet shoes to dry them faster.

Update from the crew putting out controls: after Wednesday’s heavy rain, marshes are even wetter and there are some newly fallen trees; quite a few mosquitoes in the woods, but not too many in open field areas.
