[RC] More evil insects - Ridecamp Guest

Last weekend my husband and I drove out to the GWnational park and hiked a bit. We were on fairly clear trails most of the time, but when we got home and pulled off our socks, we found our feet and ankles covered with teeny-tiny blood-sucking insects. At first glance they looked like the blood-spots left behind after a flea bite, but on closer inspection the reddish brown specs were the bugs themselves, which looked like very small ticks (even smaller then dee-ticks). They were very hard to remove, and two days later have left very itchy, fluid-filled, tiny red blisters. Nasty! Any of you who have ridden the Old Dominion ride encounter these before? (We were not far from Fort Valley). I am curious what exactly they are.. Chiggers?
