Hey Kabymom,
Have you read the Tour de Kota Forum at the Argus Leader site? Someone started a thread on what to bring based on last year... though the ladies here are much more thorough!And not many people are posting to it... I would think it would scroll a little faster.

Summary: Ear Plugs to drown out potential snorers... Tylenol PM... other stuff seemed to be run of the mill... oh yeah, a few people stay in local hotels.
On camping: I've heard that cot tents are an alright deal

We camp lots with our kids, and my DH camps with the Boy Scouts. In our experience, a 2-man tent is great for one guy and his backpack, and a 3-man would be better for 2 people with gear. Also, for a tarp to put under it, you can't beat Costco. Two really great ones (ugly blue) for about $15. The quality for price is unbelievable.
Good luck!

I have a eurika back country 2. Really a good tent. I am taking it on my 6 day in Michigan. Here are the other must haves for me:
shower shoes
ear plugs
ibuprofen (or tylenol pm ..zzzzzz!)
I am also bringing icy hot. Sure it smells but ohhh the relief!
I got my self inflating mattress from cabela's. It's sort of heavy, but well worth it. It blows up to about 1.5 inches and has foam in it.
