Blood Sucking Bugs Update

[Little Rickie]

Anyone been up Dial, Nippletop or Fish Hawk Cliffs that has info on the blood sucking bugs?

Don't worry they are EVERYWHERE, the no-see-ums are even more prevalent than the blackflies right now!

I only get up there a few times a year and would hate to have a crappy weekend should I wait a few weeks for things to dry out?

Since the trees are in their growing season most of the trails are not as wet as one would expect, plus you may have to wait for a very long time for the trails to dry out, we are talking about the Adirondacks here!

During our Sunday June 30 visit to Algonquin and Iroquois we noticed it was not too bad a lower elevation but from the MacIntyre Falls to Algonquin summit it was busy on the trails, specially on every slightly shady and wet spots. Of course the Wright Peak intersection was grand central: a very young man, waiting for his mother and sister, was behaving as if a miniature windmill!
