I shouldn't even reply after the remarks that butthead Concho made, you turkey are you trying to wreck my new persona of late.
But in the old days Lanney (the 60's) you must have been a pup not liking such a fine drink as you mentioned, only thing missing was a touch of honey. Split that between us in a 2 gallon keg and we could have had a time, all night. A few cups of this mixture and the fun would begin, right Walt.
Those where the days, but I don't miss them, have rolled in the fire a few times with such beverages, as many others have RIGHT CONCHO.
Back to the subject at hand, keeping the darn bugs off; have mentioned before that using garlic works, the Corps of Discovery boys did and have tried it and it works, even keeps others at bay (strangers).
Someone mentioned soap and water, not the eating type Dennis (you animal), but if you wash the days grim and sweat off, that helps.
Many of you folks live near big rivers like the Missouri or Mississippi and know how bad the bugs can be. We have done both these rivers on 10-12 day trips as well as 25-30 day experiences, using garlic in most meals for a few weeks before the adventure and during the same, whatever the length of time. We have always washed body and hair before retiring for the evening and have only been biten a few times. And that was at "Tavern Cave" that was where the Corps with L&C stayed, it's black with flying insects.
Those that used the different sprays or Avon got their nice clean shirt's covered with little blood spots marking each bite mark.
The old ways proved to still work over the modern stuff available.

Not yet, but the wife thought I may go there as fast as the trip to Idaho was, property we went to look at was poorly shown.
Leaving at 6am in the morning for northern Utah and over near Bill C. to look at a few sites, then get back by the weekend before everyone else starts home after the long weekend.
Looking for a new spot, this area has doubled in the last ten years with no improved roads, the eastern side of the divide has really changed.
