Don't feel bad Warrior. We camped for 2 nights. That went awesome. We started out on the trail and hiked 3 miles (half way to Stanwood our first days destination), and realized all the land on either side of the trail was either swamp or private and posted. So we walked the 3 miles back to the car and came home. :lol

Total of 6 miles in 4.7 hours. Not bad. All our packs were pretty light though at about 45-50 lbs. We will definately be going again this year before the kids return to school. :)

Sorry to hear your trip was a disaster man.

Back home, yeah. It wasn't a total disaster, hence the quotation marks around disaster. The person that was supposed to winterize the place didn't, so I had to replace the busted water pipes, a heating element in the water heater, the flange was busted on one of the water pumps, and had to replace 2 toilets, in a nut shell.

Pretty easy to replace, it's just that I'm not a small guy, and it's hard to fit in those small places.
