Guest, UPDATE We went through the site migration runbook and completed all steps. We will need to complete the migration next week, but will leave the forums up for the weekend. A few days after maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.
The WABDR goes right through Ellensburg, which would be a good trip down from Vancouver to hook up with you guys. All though I'm planning to hike the John Muir Trail in the month of August - If my permit doesn't get approved, I would be in.

You might also consider a quilt, but they can be pricey for good down. Alternatively, I sometimes use my mummy bag which is a 3/4 zip as a quilt and there is more than enough room (I'm 6'4 210 lbs). @John had a good suggestion too, can't go wrong with military surplus for the price.
