What's the weather like during the middle of June? I'm assuming a lot like around here, hot and humid with t'storms on occasion. Any advice for a first timer doing the trail? Thanks in advance.

I think you are dead on with the weather. My only advice is bring earplugs for the trains that run near the trail at night and either mosquito repellent or netting to keep the skeeters off you at night if you are camping.

I always have some backpacker meals and extra water in my panniers. There are some areas, particularly along the C & O where you may want to camp that are not near a town. Little Orleans, Confluence and Ohiopyle for whitewater rafting are all places I love to stop plus there is always great food available at these locations.
