[pct-l] threrma-rest with a leak

[kdpo@pacbell.net (Ken & Marcia Powers)]

Hi Tony,

I had a slow leak in my thermarest. At Burney Falls Ken and I inflated it as
much as possible and put it in the river...no bubbles. I then decided going
to sleep on air but waking up on the ground was fine. Then it stopped
leaking...we think that valve had some grit in it. If you don't see bubbles
try carefully flushing the valve, threads and cap.
