Here are some things you should be sure to bring with you.

To Wear:

• Plan to dress in layers. The weather in South Lake Tahoe in October can be unpredictable, and depending on where you are coming from, the temperature may not be what you expect. It could rain, shine and be in the 80s, or a mix of both.
• Bring comfortable clothes to write and lounge in
• Bring your swimwear if you want to get in the hot tub. We don't want to get to know each other that well (at least not all of us)
• Bring comfortable footwear you can hike and walk in. Shoes are not allowed in the home, but if you have house shoes or slippers you only wear in side, those are both allowed and encouraged. Bring comfortable socks, and ones with grippy soles if possible.

To Write:

• Bring your tablet, your computer, pen and paper or whatever you want to write on.
• Bring your charging cords. We will have power, and will try to have it where you need it.
• Bring a lap desk if you need one. We will have some lap desks and rolling mini desks you can use, but if you need something specific, bring it with you.
• A good mindset. We know sometimes you can experience negative feelings about your writing. We all do. But we want this to be a positive space where everyone feels welcome. Come ready to write, learn, and spend time creating with other writers.

For You:

• Bring shower needs like body soap, shampoo, or whatever else you need. We don't have those things on hand for you.
• Bring deodorant, toothpaste, and other personal hygiene needs. Everyone will thank you.
• Plenty of clothes. Extra changes of clothes can always come in handy, and while there is shopping "in town" we don't plan to go there more than once, and getting there may be a challenge. That said, we will try to help if you genuinely need it.
• Anything you need to make yourself comfortable. Favorite pillow? Lap blanket? Robe? Bring it along!
