Valuable Lessons

In no particular order:

• Bring some toilet paper; you don't want to find out that every Port-O-Potty is out.  Yes, that did happen at one spot in particular.
  
• A sleep mask is a must!  Thanks, Stephanie, for this suggestion!
• Many people had great ideas to help make sleeping outside more comfortable: air mattresses, blow-up pool floats, even sleeping bags and a hammock were spotted. 
• The power strip and inverter were awesome!  Definitely do this so there's no jockeying over one or two lone spots to charge phones & other items! 
• One jar of pickles is not enough juice for 200 miles.  Seriously, why skimp?!
• Running 3 times really means that 4 outfits are needed.  Who knew that the last one of the day (for me) would be the hottest, most humid, and sweatiest of them all?
