Hank,
Tikaboo in November may be more than just cool, so be prepared for sustained freezing temperatures. I took a SVHS Camcorder to the top during Tikaboo 2000, and got some good footage, but I'll verify the need for a good tripod for use when the camera is zoomed all the way out. If you can find a simple screw-in telescopic lens to add to your digital zoom, you won't be dissappointed. Don't forget to film the trek up Tikaboo, it'll only help others that contemplate the trip, and think it's a "hill". Keep the video camera on a tripod and running what you sleep so you don't miss anything. You can always reuse the tapes. So bring lots of batteries (Magoo's right). Good luck.
