[cdt-l] sleeping bags

[Ginny & Jim Owen]

On our southbound hike, we used a 20 degree bag until Colorado and then 
switched to a 10 degree bag around September 18th (two days after the 
blizzard).  We could have used it sooner.  On our northbound hike we again 
used a 20 degree bag until mid-September.  This time we got the 10 degree 
bag two days before the blizzard.
