Ha, I rode from Seattle down to Eureka, California some few years back, and had to camp out in Grant's Pass, Oregon one night. No tent, but a pretty decent sleeping bag & jackets. When I woke up, at around 5:30 AM, there was a nice coating of ice on the sleeping bag. I was fine, didn't even really feel cold until I got out of the bag, but it sure made me wonder what was wrong with me. 😲 😉
