Whew! Humid and hot down below, humid and chilly up here, pack layers guys! We had a partially cloudy 60/39 day yesterday, and today was extremely chilly with cloud cover most of the time. It appears as though we might get into some colder weather over the weekend, it might be a hot hike down below but up here it might be quite brisk!
Llamas to to tomorrow! The most sensible way to set about deciding what clothing to take on a hiking trip and what to leave behind is to consult weather statistics along with your own personal experience and so arrive at an estimate of the most miserable conditions of temperature, wind, exposure, humidity, and precipitation that you can reasonably expect to suffer. Then, all you have to do is judge what you need take to keep you warm under daytime conditions when you are wearing everything and doing something, or at least are only sitting down and doing nothing for short intervals. This kind of calculation involves not so much a precise balancing of conditions and clothing as an exercise in extrapolating from experience. It works for me. G'day.

How about sharing the crew's off-season plans? I hope I haven't missed that in a previous post. I always enjoy hearing about their next adventures.

We have a cabin reserved for Monday night, Nov 7, and won't be able to use it. Too late to cancel. Is there a place to post in case there's a private party who I could make an arrangement with, to hopefully recover some of our money and give someone a change to stay, on what looks like beautiful weather days.

Call the reservations office @ 8 AM Monday morning. There is always a chance it could be rebooked on short notice. Comments are closed.
