[Cdt-l] Sun Umbrella

[Helen]

I used one last year during the hot summer in Utah while backpacking.  That thing is wonderful.  My last day the temps hit 103 when I got back to my car....my shoes were sinking into the melting asphalt.  That umbrella made a noticeable difference.....and made others in the trail I passed quite jealous.
