RAGBRAI planning

RAGBRAI is only 5 days away! Ack! We have a lot to do this week.

Last minute planning - we are getting maps and paper work together for the whole team. Dan has put together a large planning document. It has all the details you could ever want about the whole week. Of the 7 nights, we will be camping in someone's yard for 3 nights, in the yard of an assisted living facility one night, and the general RAGBRAI campgrounds the other 3 nights. We will be trying to find a spot as far from the entertainment and noise as possible for a better night's sleep.

Last minute packing - we will have boxes designated with supplies and food for each meal (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks) and a box for utilities needed for every meal. Dan will be putting together first aid kits for everyone including plenty of sunscreen. I will be putting together stuff for the kids to do in the car and at the campsites while we wait for the riders to come in. Then there's our tents, clothes, towels, etc. And we'll be hoping that all our supplies fit in the cars we are taking. :-)

It's going to be quite an adventure! Keep checking here for updates along the way. I'm hoping to get some wireless connections along the route so that I can update this blog and let everyone know how it's going.
