Unfortunately, the spinaker materials looks like it only comes in single
widths. Bummer.

"Can anyone direct me to a Tyvek source in Sth Calif. / L.A. / Orange County
area?"

Greg:

This guy sells Tyvek on-line cut to your desired length:

For those thinking of using Tyvek as a ground cloth, I recommend you
consider spinaker material.  Compared to Tyvek, it's lighter (1.7 oz.), less
bulky, more durable, and doesn't need to be washed.  I think its a better
alternative:

P.S. And Greg at GVP is a thru-hiker!
