When i was 17, a friend and me decided to camp at Land Between the Lakes and never bothered checking the forecast, lady at the park office looked at us funny when we got our camping permit for 3 days. We started hiking in mid 40's, started snowing as we set camp, temps plummeted to low single digits. We were in a 3 season tent, 30 degree bags and wore every article of clothing we had with us. Park ranger even checked on us at 3 am. To say we were unprepared would be an understatement. Woke up before light because we couldn't stand to lay still anymore, boots were frozen, pillow could have been thrown through a windshield, and all of our water was frozen. Needless to say we didn't stay the 3 days as promised, we hiked out at daybreak.
