Backpacking trip with two college friends, Dolly Sods wilderness area in WV mid-1970s
Started out with light snow and 20F
About 12 miles in, it started to rain on day three........in those days rag sweaters and down bags were the norm; no Gore-tex available
That night, temps dropped to near 0F. Weather forecast on the ol' Panasonic transistor radio projected teens and lower for the next two+ days.
We made a one-day (and night) forced march back.
Walking bridge across the river, within sight of the parking lot, had washed out.
Actually pretty dangerous situation once we realized our situation
