Just back from Utah, so these are fresh observations:

1. Getting stuff like a tent or rain fly dry before packing is key. So start that as soon as you are awake.

2. If you don't cook/eat in the campsite, it reduces all the chores by at least a factor of 2. If you have to eat, and can avoid using a stove (involuntary in my case), something cold and self-contained like a bagel and apple is ideal. No clean-up.
