Re: Backpacking Happy Hour

I found small, 250mm containers of wine at Target, yes Target. They have a Chardonay, Metlot and a Cabernet Sauvignon. It is sold in packs of 4. Each container is about the size of a Red Bull can.

Expected low temperature at Reavis Ranch

Can anyone tell me what the low temperature is this time of year at Reavis Ranch? I have a trip planned soon and need to get an idea of how cold it will be.
