LUG:

I need some travel advice, too.  I'm going to the Golden Trout 
Wilderness for a photography workshop July 1-7.  We have to carry 
everything in on our backs and the elevation is about 12,000 
feet.  I'm planning to carry my M8 with three or four lenses, and my 
5D as a backup with two Leica R lenses.  With sleeping bags, mats, 
water, towel, etc. I won't be able to carry much more. I'm wondering 
about how many clothes I need to take.  How cold does it get at 
12,000 feet in July?  Would long underwear, layering and a light 
jacket be enough?  The nearest road is at Lone Pine, CA.  Has anybody 
been there?  I'm not sure what to expect.

TIA

Tina
