Eileen,
 
I wanna camp between you and Dan Wright. Wonder what the record is for weight gain at a star party? <grin>
 
Richard Crisp has a good point though, a full tank of gas would be very prudent. While we may be self sufficient , our families my need us to make a hasty return to the Bay Area.
 
I wonder what sort of earthquake magnitude would cause a problem with tracking (while imaging) at, say, 1200mm FL? Maybe we should plan on stackin' a lot of short exposures and throwing out the quakey ones.

But back to the subject...

I always pack way too much and pretty much have everything except for
the kitchen sink...ask Evan.
Plenty of water, waterproof matches, way too much food, or as the king
from the "King and I" would say etcetera, etcetera, etcetera...
