As a result of the crappy weather I encountered going over Mt Rodgers and Grayson Highlands I made a couple of gear changes. I had always used a poncho and let my legs get wet. Well this trip they got cold and I wished for rain pants. Went to Wally World and bought some Frogg toggs. Really impressed with the lightness. Almost as light as my wind shirt and wind pants. Went to the PO and mailed the wind shirt and pants home. The other change I made is shoe inserts. I had been using Meindls from Cabelas and really liked them until the other day in the rain. They are like frigging sponges. Horrible. Changed them out for a pair of hopefully less water absorbent Dr Scholls.
