Reminder: Ken Burns' National Parks series on PBS

Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] trystbat for the memory jog: The National Parks: America's Best Idea premieres this Sunday night. I will probably still be en route from a National Park at air time, assuming [livejournal.com profile] didjiman and I don't fall off a monumental piece of granite. However, PBS never runs something once, so additional air times can be found here. PBS is even streaming episodes online.

What does it say....

.....about tomorrow's impending expedition that [livejournal.com profile] didjiman just dropped me a note telling me to bring sake - and I already have a bottle sitting on the kitchen counter beside the bananas, trail mix and water bottles? 

EDIT:  Packing list

Fanny pack (why yes, I am enough of a dork to wear one, but I'll be able to get to my camera):
Wallet
Keys
Cell phone
Advil
Lip balm
Cough drops
Camera, spare battery

Backpack:
Two 1.5 liter bottles of water
One bag trail mix
Four bananas
Toilet paper
Trash bag
Sun screen
Insect repellent
Band aids
Moleskin

Overnight basket:
Socks
Underwear
Two clean tee shirts
Toiletry bag
Yukata
Flip flops. (I cannot find the Tevas anywhere, the crappy ones from Kohls can be sacrificed to the shower kami.)
Something to sleep in. (Where the heck is my flannel night shirt?)
Travel alarm
Sake, two plastic cups

Sleeping bag, pillow.

Hat
Sunglasses
Cargo pants
T-shirt
Sweat shirt
Hiking boots
Socks

To do: 
Cannibalize button from cargo pants' back pocket and use to replace fly button.
Abandon search for field glasses 'cause I can't remember if I even still have them or gave them away.
Continue search for flash light.
Make cardboard LED screen shield for camera since I lost the one I bought and they're still out of stock from the people I bought it from in the first place.
Keep [livejournal.com profile] didjiman from becoming dehydrated, falling off a rock or being arrested for public nudity so [personal profile] karisu_sama doesn't have to go all Beatrix Kiddo on me.
