Hello all!

I'm planning on hiking approx May 11th through the 18th going from Woodstock, VT to Kinsman Notch, NH. From everything I've read about black flies up there during that time of year, I'm wondering if this is a bad idea or not.

I'm planning on taking a tent, but I also hear I can take a headnet and lots of DEET, but are we looking at a lot of running water in this stretch or what? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
