The ADK Moto-Camper's Packing List

eddie

As nerdy as it is, one of my favorite parts of heading out on my motorcycle to camp is actually the planning and packing in advance. I thought I would channel my pre-trip planning energy into documenting my camp packing list.

Of course you’ll need some toiletries, a towel and other miscellaneous.
