Hello guys/gals (I always put gals but are there any on this forum??)

I need some advice from you learned folks. I want to plan a trip up to Cherry Springs after I get a few paychecks in from the Internship I acquired at Eaton Electrical. My main question is what I need to make it an enjoyable weekend. Obviously I'll need a tent, food, my scope and gear, but what else have you guys brought with you to make the trip more enjoyable/efficient (can you tell I am an aspiring Electrical Engineer?). Thanks for your help and if you could, please let me know if any of you are planning trips to Cherry Springs!!

Clear Skies,

Jon

I'll be up for the Cherry Springs Star Party for several days starting June 22. And yes, make sure you bring something warm as it can get chilly at nights.

Some kind of canopy to keep the sun off you and
the scopes. Lawn chair. Sun goop. Bug stuff.
12v heat gun for dew. Kendrick heaters + some
controller. Binoculars. Warm clothes. Extra sox.
Scope cover. Hat. Extra red flashlight with extra
batteries.
