[pct-l] snowed out of my shakedown ...

[Paul Robison]

kind of a crappy day,

was going to start a nice shakedown trip today at the local provincial park... 
... was cold but tolerable this morning... but it just got colder, and colder. 
and started to snow...
... and snow ...

... and snow...

so we decided to postpone until monday.

had a good training day 15 miles w/ 37 lbs (5 liters water, 6 days food);  but 
there's no way i could have tarped in that weather.  few hot spots, no blisters.

perhaps it's for the better,  came home and i have a horrible sore throat.

if it snows all day again Monday i'm going to be really worried about how to 
test my gear before the trail;  and ideas or help is appreciated.

have anyone else done or planned a sizable shakedown trip with ONLY your pct 
gear?  was climate an issue?
