Posted on: Dec. 08 2013, 9:56 pm Although I usually err on the side of caution in regard to weather, I took my chances (along with my best backpacking gear) and headed out to the Red River Gorge area of Kentucky last night to camp. A winter weather warning was in effect, forecasting a mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain to fall overnight and throughout the next day. Highs for each day were in the mid-30s and lows in the mid-20s. The hike in was brisk, with a hurried breeze blowing constantly across the ridge and the sun was hidden behind thick, gray clouds. I actually saw about a half-dozen dayhikers, which was a bit of a surprise given the weather. forums.backpacker.com/cgi-bin/forums/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=692107219;t=9991168458;top
