So what does one need to take with them to the 'Roo?
After a brainstorming session Monday night, here are our must-haves to make this adventure what we all hope will be a fun life-long memory!
Random Necessities
- inflatable flamingoes (or in a pinch, the kind you stick in your yard- for ambiance, of course!)
- a giant beach umbrella (for shade)
- a tent for two
- 2 tarpaulins- one for underneath the tent and the other for above
- rope (just seems like a multifunctional item that can always be put to good use... I'm sure MacGyver would approve.)
- poles (for tarp/canopy)
- luggage lock (for locking our tent, of course! we don't want any visitors- friendly or non!)
- battery powered lantern
- sunscreen (SPF 100 for Sam and SPF 15 for Hope)
- bug spray
- rain jacket
- toilet paper
- shower things
- white shoe polish for writing "Bonnaroo or Bust!" and other messages on the car windows
- a cooler
- an electric hot water kettle aka "hot pot" (for Hope's coffee and for hot foods such as mac n cheese and ramen noodles)
Foodstuffs
- bread
- peanut butter
- jelly
- trail mix
- chips and salsa
- goldfish crackers
- fruit cups, apples, bananas, blueberries
- nutri-grain bars
- easy macaroni and cheese
- ramen noodles
- coffee (or else Hope will be a withdrawn, unhappy 'Roo camper, and nobody should have to experience that!)
- cookie dough that needs no refrigeration (clearly this is the list of 2 single females!)
- crystal light drink powders (orange, lemonade, strawberry-kiwi)
- beer (some to enjoy ourselves and some to bribe others should we need help getting our tent and tarpaulin up... kudos to Chris Harper for the tip!)
- various and sundry other liquor that Sam is bringing
Hopefully we'll have what we need, and if not, we'll just have to beg or barter once we get there... which could make for another interesting post.
