Re: Tips for something big....(Driving cross-country)

Greg, I know you will load up with maps, equipment, compasses, etc. but a pencil and a small sketchpad (they make them small) would be nice to keep handy. Even when one doesn't feel artistic, somehow travel frees our conventional thinking regarding cans and can'ts. Maybe use the sketchpad for a quick sketch of something that you want to remember, or a quick poem, or a few thoughts while watching the sunset. It's great to put little 'finds' and treasures in as well.
