[pct-l] PCT temps - iButtons

[Vic Hanson]

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
