Gatlinburg Cabin Trips:packing in Early September
A small backpack for shopping is great because you can carry your needed items along with a camera and any small gifts you buy. This is more convienent than carrying around a large purse or handbag. Besides if you are like me and need a purse to make your clothes one nuetral color back pack is great. It is very warm in early September. I went September 11th thru the 13th and it was around 75 or 80 during the day and around 60 and night in the upper mountain cabins. Comfortable clothes and shoes is a must. t-shirts, shorts, a pair of jeans and a light jacket for nights, flat shoes or sandals, gym shoes. Dont forget your pajamas. It didnt rain any when we were there but from what I hear it tends to rain unexpectantly , so maybe a rain jacket or poncho A first aid kit is very essential on any trip, they sell the small purse sizes, which carry the normal necessities, band aids, gauze pads and alcohol pads. Or you can make your own all you need is band aids or liquid band aid, alcohol pads, gauze pads, antibiotics. DONT FORGET a small bottle of adivil or excedrin, just in case. any vitamins or medicines, makeup and hair needs, shower accessories, body ball, shower gel, body spray deodorant, etc. The cabins by Timber Tops are equipped with towels, wash clothes, and a small hotel size soap. Camera, video camera, binocolors, Dont forget your cell phone. Swim suit is essential because there are in door pools there and most cabins have a hot tub. The timber Top cabins pretty much have everything you need as far as dishes towels and so forth. I always take an oil burner with scented oils, some pool shock for the hot tub because our hot tub smelled like mildew so add about 1.5 oz of pool shock to the hottub to get rid of the smell and this also assures that it is clean before you get in. I take some scented hot tub pouches you can find these in the garden area at most walmarts. The cabins have some board games but if you have some favorites take them, Ipod, and maybe a mini ipod speaker system, salt & pepper, spirits, I took my bb gun with some targets because thats the perfect place to shoot it, out in the open woods. any food items you may want, water, Ice, aluminum foil. The cabins also are equipped with grill some have gas and others have charcoal grills so be sure to see which one yours will have and take charcoal, I prefer the the kind that doesnt need lighter fluid, less things to carry. a lighter, chargers for your cameras, cell phone and ipod.Have fun
