Darn it! not that I'm complaining, but I have yet to get a tick on me. The dog, yea. Fellow campers at Feather Falls, yes. And I've hiked all over in prime tick country. Sat right in the grass lots of times.
Poison oak is a whole 'nother story. I didn't get it on this trip, but I was also somewhere between watchful and paranoid.
