A few, but the worst place I have been bit this summer is in my friends
living room in seattle.

Its wooded, not in a quarry.

Bikes would work. The total distance between the first and last clearing
at this site is about a mile, however if you had a bike you could bike to
the river spot off site 1.5 miles away from the first clearing.

I don't know like 2 hours.

> 5. what is the weather/temperature in the daytime and nighttime?

Chilly at nite (there will be no fires) and its pretty wooded so I did not
find it uncomfortably hot during the day.

Portland or there might be some organic food at the safeway in woodland.
