[pct-l] Umbrella or not?

[Terry]

Jake, 
Most of us will be using the umbrellas during the desert/hot sections to provide 'traveling shade' as we toot down the trail. When we get to the forest canopy, higher elevations and cooler climes, we will either put it in the bounce box or send it home. 

I'll give you a call later today.

I've decided to use garbage bags/sea to summit stuff sacks and a pack cover and just assume I'm going to get wet at sometime on the trail.  Am I making a mistake?
