As far as a bag, down is great as long as you are 100% sure it won't get wet. If that happens, you're horsed. What kind of temps are you going to be dealing with?

Well I am anticipating nothing colder than 35 or so but I will buy a fleece liner or silk liner in case it does get colder

You will be able to get a bag for under $100 that will work great, but as RMC brought up, invest in a pad to go under it or you will damn sure wish you had.

Oh most defnitiely a pad will be bought. I am not new to sleeping outdoors but I am fairly new to backpacking all my equipment. My biggest concern really is how much the bag can compress.

It will most likely be spring and fall and in Mo somewhere's. But I wouldn't mind buying for future trips to the mountains since we do plan on going back and I am insisting this time we stay at the Chateau Mother Nature

Any true compressible, backpacking sleeping bag will stuff down into the compartment on the bottom of your pack whether it's down or synthetic. Those things are generally pretty large.

When the one I am looking at says it stuffs down to 6" x 14.2". I don't see how the 14.2" is going to fit but I don't know, never tried this stuff before
