I've been putting off buying one for a while. I guess this is the push I needed. Thanks for the links!

It's all good. Maybe you can just sneak down on the weekend.

Maybe but I'm just as far as Kevin now.

It's only a four hour drive. You could come down Friday evening after work, drive trails Saturday and Sunday morning and be home in time for dinner!
Along the lines of FoG's "what to bring" post, I always like to carry a change of clothes in case the weather changes, and a ditch bag with survival stuff in case I'm forced to hike out or spend the night with the truck.

I kept the same bag in my truck with some food, water and a tarp. For those without a top, a tarp covering the rig will hold a good deal of body heat. I thought I was gonna have to use my bag on the last night there, but Al convinced me to leave it there and come back in the AM.
Edit: Old school compass. You should have seen all of us with our phones, computers and GPS units out trying to navigate Hell's Revenge at night. Probably not a big deal as long as you have someone who has been there a good bit, but damn what a freaking pain for some newbies. Hell, just make sure your normal survival bag is in the truck with all the goodies: knife, line, light, fire starter, mirror, solar blanket, FIRST AID KIT, binoculars, WATER, jerky and whatever else you keep in there for the Zombie Attack.

Don't forget the note to leave in your truck if you need to hike out--you know, the one that reads "Truck broke down, will be back soon...poisonous snake somewhere inside truck!"

No man it does not look like I will be able to make this trip. Money is just not there this year. I had to drop some cash on our rental house over in AL and I am due to transfer next summer, so I have a list of things I have to do to our house in Houston to get it ready to rent out as well.
Besides, I don't have anything to really wheel. I picked up a 4th Gen, but with some unexpected expenses on the Mobile house, it put the suspension/tire upgrades on hold for a while.
I wish I could man. I know with the sounds of the crowd this year it is going to be a even bigger blast than last year. I've been all over the world with the Coast Guard, but that scenery and being able to be out in it is right up there at the top of the coolest places I've ever been.

Lots of various length sizes of zip ties. Ended up doing a trail fix using them to secure my cargo box. (Note to self - supply a picture of fix)
Tire repair kit (don't use Slime!!)
Depending on the time of year - Humming Bird Feeder. The humming birds in the Canyon Lands were HUGE (city sparrow size), and really hungry. I was wearing a florescent orange work shirt, and one actually landed on my side, and was really confused when my shirt did not turn out to be a giant flower. They are attracted to bright reds, orange, and yellow. The fun thing - they are fearless, and will come right up to you.
At dusk/night fall expect a lot of brown bats when you're near the river. Cool to watch.
First aid kit. Might not be a bad idea to get a triage kit that includes a suture set, and coagulating powder. Help is hours away.
Insect repellent, and sun screen. A good hat works wonders!
I also had a pair of glacier glasses as the sun glare is almost as bad as snow.
Oh yeah - if you think you have enough water - carry more! A Camel Back worked great for the times we were driving. Kept the hose close by, and drank the 2 liters before we stopped.
If I think of more I'll post them.
