Very good learning experience though.
    Even a cheap CCF sleeping pad would have cured the problem. A good standby in unexpected cold snaps.

    I know, I've been meaning to pick one up to toss in the car. It was a last minute trip for me so I went with what I had on hand. I'm also going to make some adjustments to the UQ that will hopefully make it work a bit better.
