[pct-l] PCT temps - iButtons

[Bill Batchelor]

Fascinating information.  From the group of thru-hikers that have been
"around" a while, was 2006
considered colder than average, warmer, or avg.?

I just checked with Patch and he said the results from those hikers who
carried the thermometers are posted at
http://www.charityhikers.org/pct/temps.htm
   
  However they are only the "raw" data, the temp. for each hour of the day,
it doesn't give a location. If you are interested in the location, you could
probably cross reference it with the hiker's journals and see where they
were on a particular date. Please keep in mind that the iButtons were
usually sewn into the pack somewhere, if the pack was in the sun it will
register high, or it may have been on a snowbank during a break or dunked in
a river, which could account for some wildly fluctuating temps. over a short
period of time.
   
  Patch also said "You might mention that if people are interested in
carrying one this year, it's possible. So far, I've been laying low until I
can get a good database going for the info, but I may as well send out some
more if people are interested."   -patch
   
  Contact him via his web site if interested.
