(I believe I have this done for 2 of the 3 poles, the 3rd one is just too long to work.)<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Get a 2nd 3&#215;5 rug. (Purchased!)<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Get 2 heavy duty antigravity chairs. (Purchased!)<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Get a 10&#8242; x 10&#8242; shade canopy. (Believe I found the one I want, just need to order.)<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Register the trailer and get license plates (Done!)<\/p>\n<p>Those are the main items. In addition to that I am putting together a list of things to pack. I&#8217;m not gonna go though the entire list, but I want to hit on a few items:<\/p>\n<p>Clothing. I&#8217;m not really taking much. A fresh pair of socks and underwear for every day, but I&#8217;m only taking 2 pairs of pants. I&#8217;m probably only going to take 4-5 shirts. I&#8217;ll be buying shirts out there that I can wear. No need to bring extras from home. I expect to be hot and sweaty most of the time, no amount of clothes is gonna change that.<\/p>\n<p>Food: Not taking much here either. We&#8217;ll be bringing some granola\/cereal bars, things that don&#8217;t need refrigeration, but for the most part, we budgeted eating out multiple times each day into the trip.<\/p>\n<p>I tend to overpack so I&#8217;m really trying to avoid it this time without going overboard and underpacking. Luckily my\u00a0wife is the\u00a0voice of reason in these situations. I&#8217;ll let you know how it goes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The run up to Sturgis has begun.
