[at-l] VA Question

[daveh at psknet.com (Dave Hicks)]

In May the average day time highs are in the 70's -- read as the bugs will
be back.

However, this area doesn't have a bad bug problem -- lots of woods walking,
little, grass for ticks and chiggers and little standing water for sketers.

I suppose most of you don't know me.  Felix knows me, but that may not
be in my favor.  ;)

I intend to finish VA this spring, which for me is Bastian/Bland ->
Damascus (I'll get to the state line on the next section to the south).
  If y'all could do that any time you wanted, when would you do it?  I'm
thinking that mid to late May would be ideal.  I want as few bugs as
possible, but won't freak out if it snows or something.  How late can I
go to avoid most of the bugs?
