Thanks Old Boy Scout! It was a very enjoyable trip (in spite of the bugs at the end).

That’s an impressive trip. I loved the video and how it’s simplicity highlighted the beauty of being in the park. I’m curious about the date you began your trip because I’d like to gauge how long, in time and in distance traveled south, that it takes to go from non-biting bugs to the swarms of mosquitoes at the end.

Thanks guys.

@Solos I react bad to bites so had a head net on even if I didn't need it. I was also pretty sick for the first 3 days of the trip. Not at my best.

June 1: Kiosk - Little Osler. It was a cooler night. A few black flies around. Not really biting.
June 2: Little Osler - Robinson. Cooler still. A few black flies. Not really biting.
June 3: Robinson - Happy Isle. Very windy. Mosquitoes on the portage to merchant.
June 4: Happy Isle - Sproule. Warming up and rain. A few mosquitoes.
June 5: Sproule - Clydegale. Bugs around Pond/Kearney Lakes.
June 6: Clydegale - Little Hay. Lower Madawaska River had typical seasonal bugs. Hay Creek was Bugpocalypse! Never seen it so bad. Something about the creek. can't account for it with a day and 20k of travel. 
June 7: Little Hay - park border. Bugs out in full force. Bad, but not like the Hay Creek Bugpocalypse. Just typical June bugs.

Honestly, everything was totally manageable with a bug net during the day and bug tent for eating. I did have a couple of bug meltdowns but that says more about me being a spaz than anything. Scott was totally fine. Water of a ducks back for him.

@Uppa - God I wish I brought my chair  And yeah 750km of driving on the last day for me.
