Road Trip Planning
I have to admit, the last road trip went on with friends was back in 2000 when we got a mini-van and went to the keys... fun times. lots of bars and drinks... good memories
this trip, I am headed to Bonnaroo.
I have been on many other adventurous trips since 2000
but they involved planes and passports.
so far the plan is...
leave for atlanta... pick up the rv... drive to tennesee... set up camp.
i have been searching online for tips and tricks for bonnaroo.
my only experience at such an event was the Reading Festival 2004 in England. but that didnt require much planning cause i wasent camping. but what i did learn from that event was to purchase a good pair of wellies. ( ie.wellingtons to americans.... rubber boots)
so the boots are packed and im watching the weather. guess what. a tropical depression over cuba! that means rain for florida that weekend... but tennesee? dont know...
so other than wellies... ive looked online for others packing recomendations and found an excell spreadsheet and i have tweeked it for our RV 'camping'. I also found mention of flags and flagpoles... which i have decided to make my own. so far so good the paint is drying.
as for the flagpole. its amazing how cheep 1/2" pvc pipe is. hope the zip ties work!
