[pct-l] temps

Most people worry about the temperatures in the Sierras, but I was a  
lot colder in Southern California. Except one night in the Sierras  
when I chose my campsite poorly by sleeping near a creek in a low  
spot (Tyndall Creek). I did fine with a 20 degree down quilt,  
although I think I spent more nights being way too hot with it than  
too cold. Good campsite selection really helps extend the range of  
any sleeping bag. And I didn't find rain and condensation to have had  
as much effect as I thought it would, although I did get quite  
paranoid when the bag got damp.
