You can get a hot, private shower here for $10.00. I provide a bag solar shower at the deck, but tepid ain't hot, so you may appreciate this day 3. Ha!

What to pack
"Consider packing this" list.
Coffee pot, good blowup mattress, binoculars, something to cook or reheat things. Electric grills, crock pots, insta pot etc. Good book, comfy quilts to sit in the plentiful chairs, dog toys, people toys, Something to boil water so you can do your dishes or supplement the fickle solar hot water bag. Add the app All Trails for great hiking nearby. The app Skyview is great for star and planet discovery. The app Peak will name the mountains you are seeing.
I suggest you consider doing very little but listening and watching the valley below.
