Boy howdy! I recall my first Estrella (year before
last..), and the vast difference in temperature
between daylight and nightfall (a beautiful 70 F
during the day, and a bitter 28 F at night). And to
think I used to chide my ex-girlfriend for sleeping on
such an out-of-period air mattress.... a few inches of
insulating air between you and that freezing ground
can make a huge difference.
