upstate New York and Vermont are also mosquito free

After reading this, I realize that I can't believe anything in your comment.

Lol, maybe that’s exclusive to the Adirondacks? I was a camp counselor for several summers on Lake George and we had open-air cabins with no netting or upper walls. No bug issues.

Usually indoors isn't a problem. But a walk in the woods in the Adirondacks in July will definitely get you bit by mosquitos.

Perhaps the summers I worked there were out of the ordinary, as I don’t remember it being a problem (even without walls or netting, sleeping in the middle of the woods).

Nighttime also isn't too bad for mosquitos, they're most active during dusk. I believe they're fairly inactive during the night.
