Andrea - no I am good to go, Frank actually found me some mittens that I had forgotten about (they aren't too soft, but are cozy,) so I'm bringing those. Thank you though for being so thoughtful, I do appreciate it, and agree with Joanna :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: you are a sweetheart!!

Kathy - I wear mittens when its chilly but not freezing, since you don't get freezing out there, mittens would probably be just fine - when we lived out there, the only time I ever wore gloves was when we went to Mammoth skiing (actually I never wore mittens either under normal circumstances in CA) but point being, mittens might do just fine for you, no need to pay for expensive gloves, on the other hand if you have some, then no problem, bring them.
