I just got back from a trip to the same area a few weeks ago and while the weather was mostly overcast the whole time, it did rain on occasion. I didn't plan ahead as you are now, so had to improvise at the last minute on a day when it started to sprinkle and discovered the best covers ever: plastic bowl covers to store food leftovers. My friends had some new ones in their camper, all sizes, so I took a medium one and a larger one with me out shooting. They are sturdy and the elastic edges help secure the cover in place over the camera and lens. For a last-minute idea, they worked pretty well! Have a safe trip!

Tammy, try a transparent plastic bag (size depends on camera -- the large gives room to move hands around inside), scissors for a precut hole to poke the lens through and a rubber band to keep it in place. It all fits easily in a pocket and it's cheap. (Years ago I bought one of those fancy rain covers with a zillion snaps and instructions requiring an engineering degree to understand. Used it once. Gave it to someone else who isn't using it either.) Then again, a shower cap works well in an emergency. Don't forget a little towel, mostly for your wet hands. I use of of those fast-drying camping jobs.

Hi Tammy, I have used a hotel shower cap on few occasions and it worked great. Always carry one in my photo bag. Bojan

Try using a clear plastic bag (the size will depend on the camera; a larger one allows your hands to fit inside skibidi toilet), scissors to make a pre-punched hole through which to insert the lens, and a rubber band to secure it. Everything is inexpensive and easily fits in a pocket.
