Update 27: Mosquitos and Bears in New Jersey

Dixie is still playing catch up in New Jersey. Holly: Oh man - MOSQUITOES! I remember backpacking on the Superior Hiking Trail years ago in the dead of July and going through a particularly swampy area. The mosquitoes were SO BAD that even though I had doused myself in DEET they were still eating me alive. I had to put on my rain gear - pants AND jacket, and pull every string closure as tight as I could and wear that as I got through that area and to higher ground. Never mind that it was in the 90's and I was bundled up in non-breathable clothing. that was all I could do to get through that spot mentally and physically still put together!

I'm asking the question to anyone who hiked the AT or have knowledge about it: does Dixie had more hotel nights than an average thru-hiker? Just wondering, because hotels in Canada (prov. of Quebec) are quite expensive (usually 100/night, 50 if you half it with somebody else. Watching all the vlogs, it seems that Dixie is doing it a lot, must be expensive even if its worth it I'm sure! :o

Misquotes always bother me. I will be outside for 5min and have a few bites on me that swell up immediately, but they won't bother my wife any. When we're out hiking, I typically have to either wear a long sleeve shirt, or long pants. I've read that they're attracted to specific blood types, as well. I never leave the house without bug spray, especially in the summer.

I know this is a couple years late, but I have a few week long backpacking trips planned this summer in ny and pa. In June July and August. How hot or humid was it? Did it get cool at night? Trying to figure out what clothes and sleeping system is needed there. Thank you! Enjoy your new adventure.

I happened to be on the on that bridge yesterday, driving though. Being that I live in NJ I've hiked to all of those overlooks shown and seen my share of bear. They are all over the place here. NJ actually has some nice places. Many people don't realize it's not all refineries and warehouses.

Great vlogs! I grew up in this area of NJ and am very familiar with everything you pointed out. Apple Pie Bakery rocks! I always get a pot pie when I pass thru. Watching your trip makes me want to do it: -)

Ah, Billy Joel. I think 'We didn't start the fire and 'It's the end of the world as we know it' from R. E. M. remind us of our recent and not so recent past. Love it!
