The
temperature was
deceptive: the air was cool, but as long as the sun was out it was
pleasantly
warm.
But when the sun went
behind a
cloud, or went down for the day, it could get very chilly quickly.
I was
prepared for
the cold, but not the COLD.
I brought
hiking pants, base layer pants, and fleece pants, but not down
over-pants that
many people were wearing around camp. Similarly,
I brought at least four layers of shirt, sweater, fleece, and parka,
but not my
winter-weight, down hooded parka. It
would probably not have made a difference. I
was not really very cold (shivering to keep warm) at any
point.
It is just that hands
and face,
lips and
ears, they just never got really warm most of the time.
