Testing out the tent

We spent our first night in the tent last night in Hot Springs, SD. The low temperature was 20 degrees F. We made it until about 6 AM before we had to head inside due to the cold. The biggest issue was that the shared sleeping bag let heat escape between us when one person slept on their side. The other issue was that we just had a hard time getting to sleep, but that was due to us not being used to tenting. We might get individual sleeping bags for the start of the trail and switch back to the shared sleeping bag once we hit warmer weather. Hopefully a long day of hiking on the trail will help us to fall asleep faster.
