For the Tahoe bound

[cactuswatcher]

A word to those unfamiliar with the West who are thinking about what to pack. Lake Tahoe is truly up in the mountains, higher than 6000 feet (~2000 meters) above sea level. That's a big cold lake, and we're all going to be staying very close to it. It's likely to be chilly in the evenings and downright cold in the mornings.

My theory on packing for the west is to bring something for every possible temperature and put it all on in the morning, then take off layers until late afternoon, when I start putting them on again. The bottom layer is sleeveless shirts and shorts and the top layer is at least fleece if not wool.
