Be prepared for winter weather—wet, muddy or snowy roads.  Let someone know where you are going and when you expect to return.  Winter storms can occur suddenly.  If one comes up, start heading home.  As a minimum, we suggest you take the following items with you:

Tire chains, tow chain, first aid kit, warm clothing, shovel, full gas tank, matches or flares and a flashlight.
