New to the list/intro

[rae zamarippa]

How much did that thing weigh, E. O.?  I will be going in May and i'm afraid
the cool weather will wait for me in mountains; therefore, adding much to my
load to keep warm.  Did you wear the 1 long-john bottoms?  Ladies, would a
Sarong (over pants if cold)  suffice for church?  For fashion is not my
forte.
