Syracuse.com - When's the best two-week stretch to take a summer vacation in Central New York?

I'm looking for the time when there's the most sun, the least precipitation and warmest weather. (Bugs are also a concern.)

I'm an avid fisherman and camper and I'm always grappling with when to take my summer vacation each year.

I'm putting this question out to readers of this blog. During the months of June, July and August, when is the best two-week spread to take a break from work? I'd like to hear from others about when they take their time off, and what's been their experiences -- good and bad.

I'm interested in things that any outdoor enthusiast pays attention to, whether you golf, hike, kayak, fish, cycle -- or whatever. I'm looking for the time when there's the most sun, the least precipitation and warmest weather. (Bugs are also a concern.)

My experiences over the years camping with my wife and kids have led me to believe the best time is either around the end of July or beginning of August. We seem to have the best weather during that time.

Am I off-base? I'd like to hear from readers on this.
