So is there any reason to visit Alaska, isn't it freezing cold or full of mosquitos? Is there a time of the year it's decent there?

Summer is extraordinarily beautiful in spite of the mosquitos.

I lived in Northern Wisconsin for a summer and the mosquitoes were so thick you could actually see clouds of them. If you stopped walking for a few seconds you would be covered in them. Little bastards.

anyone who has never been to alaska should not even reply in this thread. if you've ever seen hitchcock's The Birds it should give you some idea.

I was once running on some cross-country trails in the Birch Hill area north of Fairbanks. I got lost and stopped to look at a trail map. I got so heavily swarmed by mosquitoes while I was stopped that I couldn't concentrate on reading the map. My body had a fight/flight response and I took off running and just ran around on the trails aimlessly until I ran into some other people and asked for directions back to the stadium.

Is this the day you realized Alaska sucked and moved to the scenic and wonderful New Jersey?

I live in Massachusetts too, but I don't think they're too bad. I think New Hampshire is much worse, but then I'm sure other states I haven't been to are worse yet.

Minnesota

If you have never worked on the north slope in alaska during the summer time your opinion holds no weight.

Carry on.

I would also say Minnesota, but I've seen them just as bad in North Dakota.

Minnesota is hands down the worst for ticks though, as soon as I cross the state line I get them on me.
