Livin La Vida Loca

I just checked the weather. Tomorrow it will be sunny and 80F at home by the beautiful shores of lake Michigan. Where I plan to travel, it will be 46 to 50F, rain and a right stiff wind. Surely I must be crazy?

Alas, traveling to the edges of the planet (so to speak) means dealing with extremes. I have laid out my wardrobe for the morning. On top I will be wearing (from outside in) a rain over-jacket, my riding jacket, a goretex liner, an electronically heated jacket, and a coolmax long sleeve shirt. On the bottom: a rain outer layer, my riding pants, a gortex liner and long johns. On my feet" Goretex 3/4 shin high boots, and socks. I don't wear this much in winter back home!!!

So why do I do this. Not sure, but maybe I am crazy!!
