Hey anyone out there need a bivy? I have a Black Diamond Big-wall for sale I
thought I would go that way for the hike next year but decided that I am too
claustophobic for that so I am getting a tent instead. It retails at 219.00
but I am selling it for $175.00 plus shipping. Brand new never used other
than to get into it and check it out on my bed.

The low temperature on 10/11/08 at Walker Pass Camp was 22 deg F.

Low temperature at Joshua Tree Spring on 10/12/08 was 27 deg F.

This morning, at the saddle before Lamont (about 6900 ft), the low
temperature was 35 deg F, but the winds were howling through the saddle.
Needless to say, we had minimal sleep last night.  Nice and warm at Chimney
Creek Camp at 11 AM.

The temps have been rather chilly on the PCT, especially the Sierras where 
day time highs were as much as 36F degrees below normal! Likewise, the daily

lows are as much as 28F below normal. Casa Viejo Meadows (west of Kennedy 
Meadows) had a high of 17F and a low of -8F

Daily max temps for Oct 11:

...and minimum temps:

Ignore the Crabtree Meadow sensor, the data coming from CDEC appears to be 
wrong or it's reporting C when it says it's F. Go figure.
