While a cell phone is handy, depending on your route, there may be areas 
where you won't have service.   Our favorite route is 88 so from the West side 
of Jackson until we can see the lights of Carson Valley, there is no 
service. On 80, there are also dead spots.   Fortunately, we've never had any 
problems in those areas altho once our daughter tried to call us (from south of 
Sacto) to warn us of an accident on 80; luckily it was pretty much cleared 
up by the time we passed it.

Extra spark plugs are a good thing - we've had that problem altho I drove 
around the issue as I did when I lost the front brakes.   Extra oil is always 
handy as a just in case as can be water.  And always carry a pressure 
gauge; I'm sure most people do, but I know of one member that didn't use to and 
gave his girl friend a very hard ride to Hearst Castle when he'd 
over-inflated his tires and only went by sight.   Promise me a drink in Reno and I'll 
reveal his name.   :)

I'll leave Jack to give you any other advice.
