Black flies were relentless the entire hike. We sat down at Mt Shaw summit and I found 2 ticks crawling on me, multiple on my bag as well. The hike back to the parking lot we were getting covered in ticks every 20 minutes we stopped to get them off our legs. |

Beautiful day in the Moultonborough area. All of the trails are in solid condition, with some unavoidable mud. A bug net is definitely recommended and anything to deal with the ticks. |
