Trans Labrador Highway

I am planning on driving Trans Labrador Highway this summer to Goose Bay,
then taking ferry to Cartwright and continuing on land via Red Bay to NFL.

I searched the Web and I am mostly concerned about the trip being ruined by
clouds of black flies and other bugs. What time would be the best for the
trip in order to avoid being eaten alive? How about the second half of
August, beginning of September?

Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

if you go after the end of may, you might as well wait until
after the first frost. i always try to do my outdoor trips in
the north in the spring or fall, before the bugs get bad or after
they've been killed by a hard frost.
