Wow! You're possibly communicating this to thousands who have made the trip to Alaska and many do so over and over again. Did you ever consider what's boring for you could be exciting for others. Also, we had absolutely no mosquito issues when we spent the summer. Each year is different. Also, mosquitoes live in Canada and the Yukon, too.... along with Michigan, Florida, Texas, California.... and any state, actually, including Montana. :)
Well, obviously I am only stating my own opinion. Though I do speak from multiple experiences, certainly, some people might find exciting things that I find boring. Baloney sandwiches on white bread. Funeral home commercials. Mister Rogers. The "A" rides at Disneyland. All have their fans :)
I heartily applaud you for your good fortune in encountering no mosquitoes when you were there. However, the OP is going to be traveling pretty much exactly when the trillions of larvae hatch. They want your blood, even more than the IRS.
My father may have been the first person to drive the entirety of the AlCan (as in, he snuck onto it before it was officially open). Even HE said it was boring.
