This is only a recommended list to be used as a guideline when packing for your trip; it is by no means a complete list. Please be prepared for ALL weather conditions, as the weather can often be quite unpredictable at best. You may also want to pack a change of clothes to leave in the car, as you may get wet, muddy, and smelly.
