"Bring your binoculars to enjoy the truly spectacular view even more! Also pack (or plan to buy) extra supplies in case the “starter supplies” don’t last (TP, paper towels, plastic wrap, coffee filters, etc.). We also prefer to bring our drinking water. And for all those Tesla owners: There’s now a Tesla Supercharging station at Olema House, about a 20-minute drive north on Highway 1."
