Don't tell me about additional protection. BTW, are MX-Knickerbockers a sensible accessory to bring with me?

Boise weather for the next week or so: 100* tomorrow, mid 90s the rest of the week. Featherville: about 10* or so cooler for highs, 40s & 50s for lows. http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?CityName=Featherville&state=ID&site=BOI&textField1=43.61&textField2=-115.257&e=0 Like I posted on the ISF forum, the weather has been all over the place. I wouldn't dare to forecast what it's going to be for the Fest. At the moment (10:30am) it's 70* in BOI, 55* in Pine. Here is a link to the Mesowest remote reporting stations for SW Idaho. Mouse over the station for current conditions, click for history: http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/mesowest/mwmap.php?map=boi DJ
