This is the only place we have used it but have seen people with similar screen houses at Quartzsite. <br /><br />They are nice, it adds an extra room to your living area and we keep all our outdoor gear in there. It is about an 45 minutes to set up and take down/fold up. We don't use it anywhere else as we are never in one place long enough. <br /><br />It seems to handle wind/rain pretty well but it does add weight to the awning so it will sag a bit in the wind or when it is wet. I cut a couple pieces of cedar to hold it up so hopefully that will not happen too much. <br />Jim and Barb's Adventureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13552315333349717925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-82618797339149088.post-4211148872263832442017-06-18T14:56:58.361-07:002017-06-18T14:56:58.361-07:00No the mosquitoes and black flies are not nearly a...No the mosquitoes and black flies are not nearly as bad on the lake. Once you get off the shore they wind tends to pick up and blows them away. Once it gets calm at night you will notice them getting further out of the water however.

Al went fishing on Lynx Lake (Prescott) the other day with a buddy (bit of a goat rope with the boat, thus no fish). He and son will be elk hunting early Dec just south of the Grand Canyon. He got lucky pulling a tag for this area.
