The bottom of the world boasts minimal warmth
At one point yesterday I was wearing a Marmot raincoat over a Patagonia fleece, over a Marmot windbreaker, all above LL Bean long underwear bottoms, Northface Pants, Smartwool Socks and Timberland boots*. On my head was a wool hat from Gap (a pleasant medley of blue, green, grey and white selected from the VERY athletic section of the store).
Needless to say, none of my 3 jackets could properly contain my pipes/pythons/biceps/guns/ironclad fruits of the earth/tickets to fame and fortune, etc.
As a side note; I officially have a beard and it officially looks like crap** (this is unofficially due to the bald spot on the left side of my neck).
*I think I have the preppy northeasterner gringo kid covered.
**My mom recommended I refrain from using the word crap in my blog (or at least buy a thesauraus). That's a load of manure.

Stu - I read your travel adventures with much enthusiasm. In 1996 I stood in front of that very Ushuaia sign prior to my Antarctic trip - which you should do since you are that close. Charlie, Liz and the kids are here for Easter. We watched Bates get creamed by Conn College in Lacrosse this afternoon 14-7. They were unbeaten until today. Stop doing those solo hikes. Hal Engelke
