Back from a cold overnight trip.

First of all, I would like to thank everyone that helped with my previous post about touring in cold weather. I really appreciate the advice that I received, and I used quite a bit of it this trip.
The suggestion of a candle lantern, was probably some of the best information that I received. I used it in the aid of setting up my tent, reading the local paper, and it did provide quite a bit of heat in the tent.
I used a wool hat to get my ears warmed up, and it got me back to sleep during the night.
Going to bed on a full stomach on a hot meal, helped out wonderfully to get me to sleep.
The temperature ended up getting down to 30*F. So without the wonderful suggestions I previously received, I would have been miserable, cold, and probably discouraged in camping in cold weather.
Thanks again for the help in making this trip a enjoyable one.
