It seems so darn trivial in the big picture that no mosquitoes is a plus, but ya know, in fact it's such a big deal that for people like me that attract mosquitoes it's a deal changer.  I have been inundated with mosquitoes  in the Midwest and to say any chance at having an enjoyable experience was impossible is the biggest understatement of my life...golf is impossible for me and just generally existing is an ordeal...God forbid they get into your bedroom at night!!!

Oregon is certainly great on the mosquitoes misery barometer but actually Southern CALIFORNIA just simply by and large is the real Eden Free mosquito zone of all time....and oh yeah, those 70° days in the winter really make Eden come to life...
