- Sat, 12/28 - chance of afternoon showers with high 47°/low 35°
- Sun, 12/29 – mostly cloudy with high 49°/low 37°
We will meet at Bradford Landing around 11:30, paddle down to the Burlingame Canoe Campsites for the night, and paddle back in the morning after breakfast. This trip is open to all who are prepared for camping in cold weather – here are some things you’ll need:
- Tent - a three-season tent will probably work fine for this trip since we are not expecting snow or wind, but a four-season tent is even better.
- Sleeping Bag – to ensure comfort overnight, it’s a good idea to use a bag that's rated at least 10° colder than the temperature we will be out in.
- Sleeping Pads - in cold weather you need to be careful to keep from losing heat to the ground. Pads designed for winter use usually have an R-value of 4.0 or higher. (Less of a problem if you are in a hammock or a cot )
- Cloths – as always, dress in layers to match the conditions. Don’t forget a hat, gloves and appropriate footwear.
- Food – we’ll do group meals for lunch, dinner and breakfast and will probably have plenty of snacks - you will eat well.
- Camp Chair – we will spend a lot of time sitting around the fire.
We will figure out food and group gear as we get closer. Of course, everything is subject to change as we see the forecast, but if you are interested in joining please contact Erik Eckilson at eckilson@cox.net.
