[pct-l] Rain Gear or Plastic Rain coat

[Jeffrey Olson]

Plastic raincoats or ponchos.  You can get a storm that lasts 18 hours 
or so, but they are rare, and when they come, you'll know just to put up 
the tent and hunker down...  More - you'll need sun gear - fingerless 
gloves protecting your hands and broad brimmed hats.  You can use your 
poncho as a ground cloth for your tent...

In  1992 my girlfriend and I got hit by an 18 hour rainstorm near Bucks 
Lake and actually spending a day in the tent made things better between 
us...
