Good Lord willing I will be starting a CT thru hike on Thursday and I was wondering if anyone could offer any up to date info on the trail conditions. I’m trying to decide between a bug bivy or ground sheet. In Ohio where I live we had a recent explosion in mosquitoes and flys and I am wondering how they are in Colorado right now.
Any other relevant up to date info on trail conditions would be appreciated as well.

Have fun, it’s a great hike. Most of the towns are pretty cool places to spend a zero or nearo too.
