Any advice regarding camping along the way?

Thanks.
Showers Pass jackets have really gone up since I bought mine. If you can find it, a generic gortex jacket with pit zips, might be more affordable.

May on the PCH, I would not be worried about gloves for warmth. It won't be that cold. Shower covers are nice. There is nothing worse than we feet. I have the J&G pants and I am satisfied. But again generic gortex pants would be ok as long as they have the straps for the leggings.

If you can wear contacts I would strongly advise wearing them. Glasses are a real pain in a driving rain.
