A cold and overcast morning for some local high de A cold and overcast morning for some local high desert hiking. We took a quick pitstop with few people before taking a hike in a more obscure park corner. The unofficial kick-off for peak season will start in less than a month.

 We'll now enjoy the local park with red rock, snow, winter light, and fewer people.

This shirt comes in sizes up to 3XL as well. Over the late fall and into winter, Joan’s worn this every week on our hiking, camping, and backpacking trips. Joan noted there are no other reviews posted of this garment and thought she’d write about one of her now favorite pieces of clothing .

@ramblinghemlock of West Desert Gear & Repair made @ramblinghemlock of West Desert Gear & Repair made me a 40F synthetic over quilt today to augment my down quilt. A synthetic outer quilt not only add warmth to a three-season quilt but also helps with condensation issues and protects the inner down layer. Looking forward to using it in colder weather!

All this info means almost nothing to me, so please don't ask me to elaborate. :D
