    You may need anything from a parka to a safari shirt.

    I just hope the breeze is steady. I'm not a big fan of sweating so much that it looks like I peed myself from head to toe followed by sitting in a muggy camp. I would ESPECIALLY hate to be in that spot knowing that I carried a parka in my pack.
    I will ditch one of my synth shirts and throw in my red Thru-Hiker Kinsman top. Synthetic and very warm and I know it will serve down in the Gorge where the chill is for sure ... the wind whipping down the Gorge. You can hear it coming.

    If you pack your muni, you might be able to leave most of your camp insulation behind.

    It would either be fiercely entertaining for all or a possible entry into the "great moments in bad decisions making history".

    You will be spoken of highly regardless.
