Ha, turns out QJ has an excellent   (You need to Login or Register that's probably very helpful for newbies and perhaps even aficionados. It covers most anything you might think of and a lot you probably wouldn't. It's a bit dated and just one person's opinion but I'd call it required reading for the uninitiated who desire a better clue what their in for. There's another list in there too.

I remember my first trip being nothing like I expected mostly 'cause I didn't know what to expect. There's lots of things Lee Hegstrand shared that an aficionado wouldn't even think worth mentioning face to face, and it's all in one place.

Hey, have a good trip! Let us know what surprises you most.


BTW - Bear repellent was mothballs ... I didn't smell any on either of those school trips. See - newbies never listen.   ;D
