Since I've heard that New England is having a very wet year, I haven't been terribly concerned about water for my hike that starts in about one week.
I'm hiking almost all of Massachusetts (US 7 to VT 9). Is there any issue with dry springs? Have I been misinformed about the rain?
On a related subject: what's the story with DAY time bugs? Any biters or just annoyers? I'm prepared for night time, but if I need to wear DEET during the day, I need a bigger supply.
Thanks, as always!
