Just checked the weather forecast for the area I plan to hit up. High of 55 and 60% chance of thunderstorms.
Am I bit nuts for still going?

No, just make sure your not "exposed".
You might rust.

Stepping out between 6 and 7 tomorrow to get the trailhead at Moffat Tunnel (https://plus.google.com/108800611815...=s&hl=en&gl=us). Should be about 1.5 hour drive for me. Then going to try for Heart Lake about 4.5 miles West by S. West. http://www.protrails.com/trail/india...and-heart-lakeQuote:

Got rained on. And soaked. My Eddie Bower WeatherEdge Plus jacket lets rain through.
Looks like you lived. Time for a hot toddy to heat yourself back up I think.
