FLCC> blackflies

[Mike F]

Well, if the blackflies are a problem, you could just smear some chain oil 
on your face and arms...  mebbe that'd keep 'em away.  I'd have never 
thought of that technique until I ran across a bunch of Quebecois in the 
woods one day, clearing new trails... granted that was chainsaw oil, but 
they swore by it  :-)

Seriously, I doubt you'll have too much problem from the flies.  If you do, 
you can slather up with something if you're so inclined, or alternatively 
just keep moving.
