PACKING LIST: POINTS NORTH
OCTOBER 2-4, 2013
- one bag lunch for the bus ride on Wednesday
- one tent (optional) -- the kids can share tents, or sleep alone in them, or sleep outdoors in the open, or in the house; however, for those who want to share, I will determine who sleeps in which tents (I'd rather take everyone's blame than risk hurt feelings)
- one sleeping bag & pillow (even those sleeping indoors will need these)
- toothbrush etc (the house has three showers)
- plenty of layers (it's Michigan; who knows how cold it'll get?) -- I always suggest extra socks
- a bathing suit
- good shoes for walking; hard-core hiking boots aren't necessary, but we will be walking on woodland trails, clambering over rocks, and running on sandy beaches
- a water bottle
- a little backpack
- electronics are welcome for the bus ride; as with Mammoth Cave and Scattergood, I will tally them up before we leave, and the kids will give them to me every night
- no giant suitcases (we won't be gone THAT long, and the bus doesn't have unlimited space)
As for food, we will plan meals together and do our grocery-shopping at the local supermarket. When the trip is over, I'll tally up the bill and ask for equal contributions to cover this expense.
