In 2010 the day time temperatures exceeded 100 degrees. Bring
very cool clothing. We will set up a fan bank in our main gathering area at the
top of the electric sites but it is recommended that you bring your own fans for
your site (if you get electric).
Wearables
Cool, comfortable clothing (it will more
than likely be hot) (Ken highly recommends sarongs and wrap pants)
Sandals, tennis shoes... the road is paved with gravel and it
a bit hard on bare feet
Bathing suit (remember the pool!)
Towel(s) ... for showers and pool
Toiletries ... you know what these are
Ritual clothing or garb
Dancing clothes
Camping Equipment
Tent (with rain fly)
Canopy or extra tarps
Bungee cords (for securing stuff to trees ... does less
damage than string or rope and is easily removed)
Folding chairs (one for each person).
Cooking equipment (we will provide coffee in the morning and
Stone Soup w/ bread on Saturday eve... potluck is highly likely on Friday
evening) Most folks actually manage NOT to cook throughout this event since most
meals are included and it's too hot to eat midday.
Bedding (unless you like sleeping on the ground)
Bug repellant
Flashlight
Fans if you are in an electric site. Or
bring fans to share in the main gathering area.
Camping plates, cups,
utensils -- in year's past we have provided throw-aways at the main meals
but we are going to provide a washing station instead this year in attempts to
be more responsible about waste and protecting Mother Earth.
Instruments & Music
If you play an instrument, bring it.
If you want to learn to play an instrument, bring it
(somebody can probably offer an impromptu lesson)
Drums and percussion instruments (you will want these at drum
circles)
Your voice. We love those sing-along songs...
Music and songs and poetry you have written and want to share
Consumables
WATER containers. Drinkable water is
available at electric sites and the bathhouse but you will need something to
carry it in.
Whatever kind of food you like to eat. Remember it will be
hot and perishables should be keep on ice
Snack foods (salty is good if you are permitted by your
health). If you are bringing short people you will want to tuck in extra snack
foods that are reasonably healthy for them to share with their buddies where
ever the kids decide to gather. The Hoot will provide some junk food (small bags of chips) for them
there as well.
Stone Soup ingredient -- potatoes, carrots, celery, ... one
item, cut up and ready for the pot. If you are bringing meat, please make sure
it is frozen when you arrive. We don't want to poison anyone
Any personal medication you may need
Money for ice, and buying cool stuff from the vendors.

Leash
Travel box

Any medication they may need
Short People Items
