Ok, no sleep pad. Did you bivvy much? What did you sleep in?
I've probably asked you this already but I've forgotten and changed my mind so many times I've lost track of why I'm doing what now anyway. I recall you said there's hotels in the mountains did you save the bivvying until Kansas onwards?West Yellowstone, just as an example is currently at -2degC. I reckon it's worth taking the jacket. If something breaks and I'm forced to walk to the next town or something then it could come in handy.

Don't bother with the sleep mat. You'll be so tired, you'll sleep anywhere. Similarly, a down jacket is unlikely to be necessary. Didn't use mine at all last year.
