Things To Bring On a Trip to the Southwest
Edited on Mon May-12-08 09:03 PM by AteAlien
(I emailed this to my angel woman who is hopefully visiting from WA next month)

1) Self and son
2) Sunscreen rated 175 SPF minimum
3) A belief in the inevitability of enchantment
4) A sense of humor and a desire to travel long distances to see rocks and dirt
5) Clothing that breathes, as you may find the heat taking your ability to breathe away at times
6) A sense that quiet and peacefulness are easily achieved and desireable goals
7) Camera and camcorder with lenses that resist melting in 110 degree heat
8) 14 gallons of water for each person per day to replace evaporation
9) Love

any additions I should make?

3. good point!
I'll recommend wearing at least 7 flag pins so there is no question of loyalty.

5. hemostats and a comb.
For removing cactus spines, needles and spiked globs.
