      Get an Altus poncho from Ivar. They have sleeves so no wet arms.

      So….. we had 1 inch of rain here at home in a 4 hour period. We found it and opportunity to test our packs/setup. We hiked 12 miles in pure downpour. We both wore shorts and no pack covers as mine is waterproof and his Osprey has a waterproof...

      This was my husband. So many thanks to all of my fellow pilgrims who stopped to help and to pray and to translate for me. He was doing what he loved. Thank you for the news article link.

      Salmons reacted to J Willhaus's post in the thread Bar Etiquette with Like Like.
      I always clear my table (before and after is needed) and it usually gives me a chance to go inside and ask for a stamp (cello) or use the bathroom. On busy days, there may be someone waiting to sit at that table and I personally don't like to sit...

      Salmons reacted to Robo's post in the thread Two backpacks? with Like Like.
      Something to consider..........the smaller packs tend not to be as comfortable as the larger ones. So for example, when I have used luggage transfer in the past due to injury, I carried my normal 35L pack and sent excess gear forward in a nylon...
