Re: Maggie Valley Checklist
Scott,<br />
We don't have one, but I'll bet we can compile a doozy from our members!<br />
Here's my input:<br />
<br />
1. Rain suits (Pack last, on top of everything else, to get to 'em quickly)<br />
2. Meds, if applicable (Include bandaids, antiseptic cream, sunscreen, sunburn cream, and list of meds stored somewhere on the trike, just in case)<br />
3. Tee shirts, at least four (You'll be doing laundry somewhere if you're gone longer than a week, so take a roll of quarters)<br />
4. Jeans or shorts or both, one pair for every two or three days <br />
5. Tool kit for trike (Guys, help me out here with details)<br />
6. Tire inflator <br />
7. Extra pair of boots or shoes, extra pair of gloves (in case of rain - nothing worse than wet feet unless it's wet hands)<br />
8. Socks & underwear (one a day, one extra pair in case of rain)<br />
9. Printout of route, with MV contact numbers (give one copy to someone at home, one copy in luggage)<br />
10.
Motel confirmation and meal tickets for Saturday night.<br />
<br />
Okay, folks - add to this for our travelers who don't take 'big trips' often!!!

Re: Maggie Valley Checklist
Did we mention sunscreen? <img src="images/smilies/grin.gif" border="0" alt="" title="big grin" class="inlineimg" /> Actually, BG's list is pretty comprehensive. <br />
<br />
The only additional thing I can see is a full can of Plexus and a couple of soft microfiber cloths. I also carry an old hand towel in a ziplock bag. When we stop for the evening, I soak it in hot water and gently wipe all the bug guts off my fenders........ I hate the yellow stain they leave if I let them bake on there! <br />
<br />
Oh yes.... bring lots of tall tales to share, a warm smile, and hugs and handshakes enough to pass around to 200-300 wonderful people! See you soon!

Re: Maggie Valley Checklist
REMEMBER...!!! NC, TN, WV, among a few other states you might ride into and through, are mandatory helmet law states, so if you're a believer in freedom of choice and typically ride without a helmet, be sure to pack a DOT approved helmet before you leave home.

Re: Maggie Valley Checklist
We'll be adding a sweatshirt, It's June, but it is in the mountains. We each keep a windproof pullover in the trike, and we will be bringing our light jackets, and packing the liners.
We are staying at the campground, so there is all that camping stuff, but we generally keep all that in the Bunkhouse anyway.
Don't forget extra batteries for camera, and power cords for those rechargeables like the phone.

Re: Maggie Valley Checklist
Brought this old thread back so that some of the newer folks will have a checklist for the rally! Lots of common sense postings here, even though the location is different.

Re: Maggie Valley Checklist
Half sleeves that you can pull up on your arms while wearing a T Shirt. Keeps your arms from cooking in the sun.
Some use them for covering Tat's while wearing work uniforms when the job calls for such.
