Thanks Riverdog!
I tend to go up there twice a year for back country paddling or backpacking. Early spring and then in the fall after everyone goes back to work and the colors are out.
The 'trick' to going in the spring is timing the ice out... Always easier said than done! Anyways, once ice is out (usually last week of April) there is a window of 2-3 weeks depending on temperature where there are virtually no bugs in the park, atleast nothing that bites or gets too annoying! Once that time is up I stay outta there. Algonquin park is notorious for their bugs, not a place I want to be 2nd half of May... until basically mid July... atleast if I value my blood. [cool]
It's kinda funny you just sent that link... I was JUST looking at some PMD patterns! Thanks again!
