Albany hiker DSettahr spent the weekend hiking up Windham High Peak, and he tells the Views from the Top forum that already, the flies are biting:
We had the lean-to to ourselves on Saturday night. We saw and heard some bugs during the evening Friday and the day Saturday, but they were few and far between. The summit of Windham was pretty free of insects. A smoky smudge fire also helped to keep them away on Saturday afternoon. However, when we awoke on Sunday morning, we found that the black flies were out in force. It’s funny how they all come out at once, rather than gradually ... Overall, a good weekend. The last hurrah of early spring, hiking without snow or bugs… for the next three months, it’s bug net season.
