AG,
        If you are refering to Black Flies then count me out. I made the 
mistake of taking a canoe camping trip in the Adirondack Mtns. one Memorial Day 
weekend. HUGE MISTAKE. Black Flies emerged on Day 2 and I still have the scars. 
Now mind you I grew up in SC and deal with mosquitoes, gnats, ticks, etc. but I 
have experienced nothing like those dastardly creatures. If I could figure out 
a way to return them to Pandora's Box...
        I never again set foot in the Adirondacks until after July.

Charlie

Drink bottled water is pretty much a normalcy these days.  Even
when you have decent tasting water available.

It's a little hit-and-miss when it comes to decent tap water in
the UP. I know of a few places that are ok, but others could be
leased for mineral-rights!

The flies are nasty, nasty, nasty.  About the only thing that
slows them down is a decent snowstorm--and that's not even a
guarantee.  These things bite like rabid rottweilers and drink
deet for recreation.
