Botanical name - Dracaena Palm 'golden coast'
Origin - Central America
Bright Light
Provide me with a few hours of morning or evening sun and I will love you forever. Try and keep me away from the harsh midday heat to prevent sun scorch. If you can't read a newspaper where I am then it's too dark for me. No north facing rooms please as in winter I won't get enough light.
Infrequent watering
Please let at least half my soil to dry out between waterings. Poke your finger in the soil every week or so to check. If it's very dry then its time for a drink. Water me thoroughly until the water comes out from the bottom of the pot but please don't leave me to sit in a puddle. During the colder winter months reduce watering to minimal as I will be going into my dormant phase.
Mist me or pop me near other plants to keep humidity high. This will prevent the edges of my leaves from browning.
Care Tips
I am a slow grower but if I've got a lot of new growth and wand to see me get bigger then consider repotting me every couple of years.

Format: Paperback
We finished the Wonderland yesterday- this book was instrumental in planning and is highly recommended. In a somewhat bullet format I'll add a few notes...
I think it is better to deliver your food caches rather than mail them- discuss with the rangers THE ACTUAL PICK-UP POINTS, and have your map with you- they will give you current trail and water conditions, this proved to be very valuable.
We opted for a 12 day hike, after just a few days we realized that we had underestimated our hiking ability and changed out schedule to a 9 day hike. The rangers were very good about helping us with the changes, keep a slower plan and a faster plan in mind as the hike progresses (don't forget to get word to the rangers to re-date your food caches if you change your schedule).
Thank those rangers and back country guys when you see them-the trail is in splendid condition, the maintenance is ongoing. When you meet a man wearing a pack-board with a 55 gallon drum lashed to it and he is going to muck out one of the outhouses on the trail is really makes you think about all the steps that you are traversing, the water bars, the brush...on and on with the list.
Trail-trash... and I'm not talking about litter, there are some not so nice people on the trail who think nothing about leapfrogging a campsite because they "didn't like it" or the day was too long / short. That means that if you are a late arrival at a camp all the sites may be taken, then you have to ask to see permits and engage in eviction, the rangers need to hear about these guys and they leave the park "With extra paperwork:". One party we met started as a party of 3, but one of them became ill and suffered a fall resulting in an injury- so she was abandoned at Golden Lakes to fend for herself... dumped on the rangers. Point being, know your trail team- when you look at the map note where the roads are close by the trail should you need to get help.
The authors mention bugs... perhaps once or twice... they talk about deer flies and horse flies... but as much as they talk about it is still under emphasized, there are legions, hordes, armies of bugs at some of the campsites DON'T IGNORE THESE WARNINGS.
There was a great tip about putting apples / oranges / pears in your food caches- after a couple of days without fresh fruit these were a huge bonus. We also included some of the Hormel dinners- already hydrated and a nice break from the normal trail food.
All in all, this is essential equipment in planning your hike.
The Wonderland is aptly named- this one of the high churches in the outdoor religion, you will be constantly amazed!!

The Best Wonderland Trail book out there!
Format: Paperback
To plan my Wonderland Trail hike, I bought three different books, including this one. Tami's is by FAR the best. It offers great summaries of different sections as well as detailed descriptions. So many details are covered: permits, the Spray Park and Northern Loop options, packing, caching, conditioning, etc. There are numerous maps, and all of the charts at the back really helped me plan a well-informed itinerary. Great book!
I used a hard copy edition of this book to plan my Wonderland hike (since I still really like good old-fashioned books) and then downloaded the Kindle version to my phone to use for reference on the trail. After a quick read each night, I could hit the trail the next morning well-prepared for the day ahead!
I should point out that I did also bring along a Green Trails map of the Wonderland Trail, which I really only wanted to identify mountains, etc.

Best guide book I've ever purchased
Format: Paperback
This book is outstanding! Even though we backpacked the Northern Loop instead of Wonderland, there were sections in the book covering some of the camps we hiked to over our five nights in the back country. And then I ran the Wonderland Trail over three days the following week, so I was eagerly reading each night in my tent to see what I would be discovering on the trail. The author is a very good writer, knows her craft extremely well, and has obviously spent ample time in this absolute treasure of a national park. Thank you so much for writing such a valuable book.

Very Helpful Trip Planner
Format: Paperback
Good descriptions of trails, directions, and overview of each trail. I bought it to plan a trip in the Wonderland, but I realize that could be a book in itself. The information was a bit basic, but it did provide details on the different campsites that helped make decisions on which to stay at. All in all I would definately recommend!

The best guide out there for the Wonderland.
My husband and I used this book to plan our hike last year and it was an awesome guide. It breaks down your options based on direction you are traveling, number of days taken, and even difficulty level. We looked at the other books about the wonderland and really feel like this one was the best.
If you are thinking of doing to Wonderland, you should buy this book, but don't expect to take it with you (unless you get the kindle), as others mentioned its a bit heavy.
EDIT *
After talking to Tami, I realized that some of the information I reviewed about the book was incorrect. I would like to point out, like she did, that there is an appendix that lists the number of sites each camp has (I previously assumed this information was missing from the book). This is an important bit of information we overlooked when it comes to applying for permits, as some of the camps only have a few spots available each night! Also, Sunrise visitor center was open past Labor Day BUT the restaurant was not and oh how disappointing that was! So definitely call and talk to someone at the park before making plans for a hamburger or milkshake.
