Subject: Appalachia: Transportation & The Black Fly?

Does anyone know of any hiking organizations in the North Jersey area,
specifically Bergen County(9 miles outside of New York City), that
offers transportation to and from hiking trails along the Appalachian
mountains. Several friends and I are college students who enjoy hiking
regions of the Appalachian Mountains, however, we no longer have
transportation.
I've heard stories of "The Black Fly" along the Appalachian Trail.
Supposedly they travel in swarms. Is anyone familiar with them. How can
I avoid them? Where are they in late May, June, July, and August?
Finally, does anyone know of any practical books that detail hiking the
Appalachian Trail.
Thanks.
C.B.

I can respond to CB's latter questions having hiked the northern-most
and southern-most parts of the Appalachian Trail. I suspect there are
a bunch of us who are familiar with the little critters. How do you
avoid them? You don't, unless you pick a brisk, windy day. Believe
me, if they're there, they'll get you and have a sumptuous meal to boot.
I've run into them in late May, June (particularly bad month) and the
early part of July, though they have been experienced by others later
in July and even in August, depending on weather conditions, if there's
still fresh bodies of cold and clear waters around. Normally, most of
July and August are free of the pests. In their season, they are everwhere
in high backcountry regions. Talk about ubiquitous! You'll probably escape
them at lower elevations. Stay away from June, particularly in north-
western high country areas. That's the only way to beat them!!

Here's a brief list of guidebooks that cover the Appalachian Trail. This
list is by no means exhaustive or even up to date:

1. Hiking the Appalachian Trail, ed. by James R. Hare, Rodale Press, 1975.

2. The appalachian Trail data book, comp. by Raymond F. Hunt, The
Appalachian Trail Conference, 1977.

3. The Appalachian Trail, by Ronald M. Fisher, National Geographic
Society, 1972.

4. Appalachian odyssey: walking the trail from Georgia to Maine, by
Steve Sherman and Julia Older, Greene Press, 1977.

5. The Appalachian Trail guide for NY-NJ, Purple Mountain Press, 1989.

The first title was previously published as APPALACHIAN TRAIL MILEAGE
FACT SHEET.

There's a ton of other information embedded in other works such as the
Adirondack guidebooks, White Mountain guidebooks, Green Mountains
guidebooks, etc.

Hope this is somewhat helpful. Write me a memo off the list if you need
more particulars on availability, cost and addresses for the above titles.
