Went for a camping weekend at my place in NC.
Brought a buddy who insisted on using a tent that he received as a gift.
We stayed down by one of the creeks on my property.
The first afternoon

It got down to 30° that night. I didn't use a pad, but deployed my Hudson River.
The next morning:

Then we headed out for a hike.
We walked up over my eastern ridgeline and over to a forgotten road. That road leads out to an abandoned boys camp in the national forest (right off the Appalachian Trail, near Sam's Gap).

An odd DIY tent structure (or sweat lodge)

Then we hiked back along the Appalachian Trail from Sam's Gap to this point:
