Mail drop - Appalachian Trail

imported
#1

My husband and i will be section hiking in Vermont this June and were wondering were the best place for a mail drop would be. We are hiking from Hannover NH to Adams Ma. I know we will try to use the Long Trail inn as our first drop but would like one further down the trail. We will be out for approximatly 15 days.
Also when does mud and black fly season end. and what temps should we expect? we were thinking of getting new bags and figure that something that went to 30* would be good.
thanks tagalong

Cant help you on the Mail drops but mud season runs from March to about end of May,depending how much snow depth.
Blackfly season can run untill mid July,it depends how wet the spring has been,more rain=more Blackflies.
You can expect Mosquitoes most of the Summer,especially during the Evening.
Check yourself every day for Deer Ticks,Lyme disease can exist even on the LT.
One more word of caution:I wouldnt stay at Gov.Clement Shelter,its right next to a dirt road and gets some locals who like to harass Hikers.
Hope all this dosn’t turn you off the trail.It’s a great trail.Good luck.
