In the 1O0 mile wilderness the.black flies and mosquitoes are hell. I started end of july in Maine and hiked south. if you are fit, I'd reccomend doing that. Way less people, less bugs. you hit Shenandoah in the fall it's real nice. You start with all.the mountains so bt the mod Atlantic 30 mile days are easy, and you just cruise.

Bug nets, and you get used to mosquitoes there not terrible. her used to tick checks and just keep moving.
