I was never so cold again as I was before I got to Lone Pine.  I traded in =
for summer gear at Lone Pine, but I carried a fleece and beanie the whole w=
ay.  I don't remember the temperature in the Sierra dropping much below lig=
ht frost after Independence, but it was cold getting there.  Every year is =
going to be different though I think.

Maybe send the stuff to Kennedy Meadow, Lone Pine or Independence anyway an=
d make up your mind when you get there?  If the box is not opened, I think =
you can send it home again for no additional mailing costs.

Good luck on your journey,
Helen
