Cadillac is more populated than Wolverine area, more meat-to-skeeter ratio. Had cabins near both of those over the past 40yrs. Wolverine was always maximum mosquito density. Spray up and ignore/swat them like we do.

Don't forget the black flies
 Though they are more of an issue in the UP. The Squitos depend on how wet it is. They can be pretty mild if it's dry. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The dam deer flies like to bite the back of your neck above the collar They always bite where it's not easy to smack them. I hate them. And leave a nasty welt on me. Fickin' ruthless little blood suckers. |

Just to switch gears a minute....
What are the Covid restrictions / mandates / directives in MI and how likely is it that they will be enforced out in campgrounds and smaller towns ? |

There really isn't any enforcement as far as the public is concerned. Just capacity limits on businesses. |

Pick a spot where there's a chance for a breeze, closer to the great lakes, the better the chance. If you camp with electricity, a couple cheapo box fans will wreck the skeeters flight, great for sitting around camp at night.

I never really thought about fans. It's rained a bit, I have spotted the large male 'skeeters, the biters are about to show up.

I was just up around the Dead Stream area and they were as thick as fog, but that is all swamp so they’re always bad there.

Some fast food places have their workers wearing them still. Only McDonalds locally is not yet doing any in restaurant dinning. I’ve been in MI motels and campgrounds as Wells Fargo is the most incompetent bank on the planet the last 12 days. |

My wife has been a little worried, because she plans on visiting beaches and ‘seeing the sights’. I plan on staying in camp or out on the trails. |
