What I did last weekend

[cjsmith]

I went to a star party, enjoyed a view of Half Dome, helped some kids (and adults) look through a telescope, made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, watched the Perseids, and chased off a bear.

Next time: even MORE warm clothes.
Next time: some electric way to heat water (camp stoves emit visible light) or several Thermoses.

I get cold very easily, especially when I'm not moving or when I'm really sleepy. I had thermal underwear, a T-shirt, a sweatshirt, and a big down parka; I had a hat, the hood of the sweatshirt, and the hood of the parka; I had mittens; I had three layers on my legs. I was shivering. I think my strategy in future will have to include those little chemical hand-warmer things.
