I slept in the teepee one night. It wasn't too cold as it shielded the wind well. I had a very fluffy sleeping bag and lots of foam pads to keep the ground coolness down. That was the night we stayed up and watched the meteor shower. It will probably be the best view I will ever see in my life. The mountain range surrounded the horizon and we were in a treeless field looking straight up. I saw three outstanding ones that had long glowing tails as they streaked across the sky. It was amazing to see the Milky Way in it's glory as well in the moonless, cloudless sky.
