Hi Josh,

Yup, I've had the same problem.  If there is a shower nearby to the
take out, I take a quick shower.  On multi-day trips where a shower is
not available, I have taken skin lotion and that helps.  So do those
baby wipes (which are always handy as well as a luxury on multi-day 
trips).

Cheers and Happy Y2K to you, too :-)
