I was planning a section hike of MA late August or early September, but reading the posts here and a blog of a thru hiker (http://allenf.blogspot.com/) makes me wary of the skeeters. About when do they die out? Hopefully before the first freeze! I'd hate to be hounded by them for an entire week.
I grew up in eastern CT but I don't remember them being that bad or when they went away.
Here in Texas we get hordes of skeeters during the spring rains. I was out for a training walk and I felt like I was walking through soup, almost like I was in a solid mass of bugs! But by the middle of summer it is so dry they have gone away.
