[pct-l] Rain Gaer ?

[Diane Soini of Santa Barbara Hikes]

A poncho usually has a folded over seam along the edge. I threaded  
some elastic through there on the back half and used large safety  
pins as a sort of belt buckle. That way the back half of the poncho  
hugged my pack and the whole thing didn't flap around. Hard to put  
on. Did this with a cheap emergency poncho. I didn't have a rain  
jacket, only an umbrella. Carrying the poncho was the best rain gear  
ever because it caused the rain to stop. Next time I'll just take an  
ad out in the paper to ask everyone in Seattle to stop washing their  
cars and putting their sofas out on the curb. That would probably get  
the rain to stop.
