We did have a nice trip. As far bugs, we had the "expect the worst" mentality. Needless to say we were pleasantly surprised with the lack of bug activity. And the people at Clearwater were great. The next trip will probably involve one or more layover days, and less travel. I guess I'm more of a camper than a tripper.
