[pct-l] Bag/Quilt Warmth

[Jackie McDonnell]

Hmmm, warmer sections............If you're going to bounce your 20-degree
bag and carry your 32-degree bag, there is only one section I'd recommend
for that:  Echo Lake-ish to Ashland-ish.  For northbound thru-hikers, this
will be most of July and possibly the beginning of August.
