Summer nights are usually cool and great for sleeping. So, pack an extra sweatshirt or light jacket just in case. Bugs - Yes, we do have our share of bugs here, too. Early summer through July is the time when mosquitoes are most prevalent. Black flies are around from snow melt until mid-June, and deer flies are out in June and July if the weather is dry and warm.
Ticks are out mainly during spring and early summer, and are more common in grassy areas.
It helps to wear light colored clothing, check yourself periodically, and use repellent. Deer ticks, which carry Lyme disease, are very small, about the size of a pin head. Lyme disease is not as common as visitors think. Wood ticks are larger and more common, but are gone by mid July.
