Iona Vaquero, SASS #48094 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I've never been to Illinois. I'm trying to pack and have no idea if I should pack long sleeves or short sleeves. People are telling me that it's going to be miserable, but when I look at the forecast it doesn't seem so bad. Can someone please help me decide what's necessary and what is going to take up valuable RV space? Yes, it's a girlie question, but heck, I'm a girl so I'm entitled.

BONEYARD BILL, SASS #39,030 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Well - we are glad that you are visiting Illinois. I would think that about 80% short sleeve and 20% long sleeve would be about right for early September. It doesn't cool down at night here - like in your neck of the woods. Maybe 1 or 2 pairs or shorts, 1 or 2 pairs of Capris and 1 or 2 slacks would be about the right mix. I hope that helps a bit. - Boneyard Bill (Fashion Consultant to the Stars) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cascade Charlie, SASS # 48668L Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Not real sure where they got the projected winds from but a stampede string is always useful at Sparta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lead Ringer Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I shot at Sparta last weekend, great place. Always windy. Pack a stampede strap for your hat! 80's and breezy. Sounds like great shooting weather. Ringer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iona Vaquero, SASS #48094 Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 It sounds like it's going to be cooler than we are this time of year, but not cold, except at night. Madd Mike teases me that I'm a lizard, it goes under 80 degrees and I head for the sweats. When you talk about wind, is that Winter Range type wind or a nice evening breeze? I have stampede strings on most of my hats in any case. Thanks everyone for helping me. It sounds like my first choices were the correct ones.

Iona, The weather here has been beautiful for the last month. We do have some wind normally but it hasn't been bad so far this year. Most of our activities are inside in the evenings and our wind that does show up is usually in the afternoons. The temp shows to be in the 80's with 0%-10% chance of rain as far as I can see right now. Hope that holds out, it will be a great match. Humidity hasn't even been bad this year. Yesterday was only 43%. Looking forward to a great match, Bella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
