Pretty much the same here, although I don't take a journal to write in on a long weekend trip.
Also agree about variances in the list due to possible weather extremes. Just got back from Montana two weeks ago. Looking at the forecast, we had to be prepared for a few nights around 40 if not colder. (One area was still experiencing snow showers the week before we were to be there.) Rain was also a distinct possibility, especially since it had been a very wet winter, spring and early summer. This all added a few items to the load. It did get down to 40 three nights, but we got lucky and hit the first dry spell of the year.
