Hi all,
I need to be off the trail by mid-July-ish due to school. I figure I could start early/mid March and do the trail in 4 months. I think I can handle it in terms of the weather and the miles, but I'm very worried about the bugs. I have a feeling this schedule has me hiking through the worst of black fly season all the way through MA, VT, NH and ME. I am I real wuss when it comes to flies and mosquitoes, but maybe you just get used to it after a while?
