hello all.
i'm leaving sept. 22 for erwin tn, and going to hike from there down to springer mountain, probably getting done the latter part of october sometime. should i be expecting any very cold and or wet weather? i've never spent any time in those mountains. here's what i was planning on bringing clotheswise:

lightweight long underwear top and bottom
medium weight fleece pullover
beanie
lightweight gloves
pants and a t-shirt
rain jacket
rain skirt (plus knee-high gaiters? or maybe i should bring my rain pants?)
socks and underwear

does this seem reasonable for the time of year? i might should add that i'm a floridian and not particularly cold-tolerant. anyhow, thanks in advance for any input or advice.
