My son and I did about 5 miles on the Cross Vermont Trail in Groton tonight. It’s an old rail bed in that section so not really a hike per say but it was a beautiful night for a walk. The bugs were horrendous though. As you swung your arms, it felt like you were cutting through swaths of black flies, no seeums and mosquitos. We had 100% deet insect repellent on and it was still bad.
