[at-l] Questions about warm-weather hike

[WenchAT03 at comcast.net (Teresa)]

Hi all,

Since it should be quite warm on my upcoming Foothills Trail hike, I was
pondering some things regarding gear.  First, I'll be hiking in shorts and a
t-shirt.  What will I need for sleeping/extra clothes?  I don't THINK I'll
need more than another set shorts/t-shirt, but SHOULD I take something
warmer?  I will be taking my rain jacket, but not rain pants.  Do I need
some kind of long pants?  BTW, I also carry a space blanket.

I am taking a hammock instead of tent.  Is there any reason to take a
sleeping pad?  I've slept in the hammock a few times and have not used a
pad.  I'm thinking it's just extra weight, and since the temps will be so
warm, I might not even use a sleeping bag.  (Yes, I AM taking one.)

That's it for now....  thanks in advance!
