Nice try Mark, but bullshit :-) Rebekah, gear wise take a tripod, something wide (it is mountains) & something longish (about 200mm+) for the wildlife enclosures. Bringing a laptop with a CD burner iprocess you entries into the photo contest (should you decide to) is a good idea as computer time is at a premium. But not necessary as someone will no doubt let you borrow theirs. Alcohol is a good idea. If for no other reason than to help with the shock at exposure to so many Pentax geeks. I'll leave it to the more experienced GFM'ers to help advise you on camping & whatnot.
