*this list sounds incredibly extensive. Boyf can deal with this.

Bring your favourite music cd's, ipod or a satellite radio for times when radio signals are out of range.

Road Trip Packing List ~ Cooler
* I'm planning a "menu" this weekend in Pittsburgh. I'll skip this for now and worry about the cooler then.

Zip lock bags fit nicely into a cooler and shrink as the food is consumed. That leaves more room for cold drinks and fresh snacks you purchase along the way.

You might also want to pack some non cooler food items

Throw in a butter knife, sharp knife, corkscrew, (a swiss army knife incorporates several necessary items) napkins, toothpicks, small cutting board, paper plates and bowls and maybe a go cup for each traveler and you're set.

And that's just the camping stuff... Now it's time to pack your personal gear!
