Questions have come up about what to pack for the train. We will discuss this more on Saturday.

Remember: EVERYTHING that you bring with you that doesn’t go on the trail, goes into the storage locker. Each crew has 2 2x2x3′ lockers total. Everyones gear must fit into these bins.

Everyone should have most of their gear in their backpack. Each person will also need a SMALL carryon bag. I use backpack (school size).

Most likely you will NOT have access to your stored pack until we get to Raton. Pack anything you may need on the train in your carry-on.

We will be wearing Troop t-shirts on the train. Jeans or shorts are fine. These clothes will be stored in the locker and worn home on the train as well.

There are outlets by the seats, so you can charge phones, iPads, etc.

light weight blanket – the train often is on the cool side. forsleeping

pillow – small or inflatable (storage space issue)

books to read

snacks if you want.

Breakfast food

cards /games(if desired)

The train has a lounge car with tables to play games. There is a snack bar below and a dining car as well. There is no money budgeted for either of these in the fees paid.
