Mosquitos

[chief900]

Since I posted other comments about our Little Tupper Lake experience I'll add that these buggers were still out and biting in both the Old Forge area and LTL. Fortunately we had a breeze most of the time but when it was calm they were quick to attack. Certainly nothing I've experienced before on a late September trip

That's exactly what we did!

If I had that spot I wouldn't let some damn mosquitoes ruin it for me

Looks like a thermacell right between those two chairs would solve the problem.

They are always hungry right before they die...

Sitting out at the cabin this afternoon and they were aggressively biting us. Strangest year I've seen in a long time. Usually, by late August, the mosquitos are gone. I've never seen them this thick in late September. Very odd.

Backpacked into Colden last week and saw/felt nary a flying bug. Got back to Upper Works and while putting my stuff back in the car a single black fly got into the car. Little bastard bit me three times while I was driving. At one point I swatted him and missed, and my car swerved off the road. Not sure what happened to him, but I think he was sending me a message!!!

Sun thru Tues no biting or nuisance bugs, not even when hiking in the woods.

Fished the South Branch of the Moose River in the Plains on Saturday. Mosquitos were pretty bad.

Hiked into Colden from the Upper Works earlier this week and the only bugs were in the parking lot. No issues at all while on the trail to and from Colden, and I mean no mosquitoes, black flies, deer flies, etc.

Yesterday, at the Mill Brook trailhead for Pharaoh Lake, the mosquitoes were enough to annoy. It is a late season.

The mosquitoes were absolutely horrendous last week at the confluence of the Cold and Raquette Rivers. There were also a few spots on the Raquette below Raquette Falls were they were pretty bad.

Also mosquitoes still out in force in Schroon Lake today.

And I killed a black fly in Newcomb last week (hopefully, maybe the final one of the season?).

I just spent a week in Long lake. Bug free

A couple of day hikes the last two days: Blue Ledges and Hour Pond Trail Head from Old Farms Rd. No black flies, no deer flies and very few mosquitos - lots of mud though.

In the southeastern Adirondacks, black flies have been more noticeable lately.

North Elba (Van Hoevenberg) and Keene (the Crows) were bug free yesterday.
