It would have been great to have arrived earlier--we got there too close to sunset--and to have stayed longer so that we could have experienced more of those magical moments. It was warm enough out that we slept without the "shell" over the tent; we had only the netting layer between us and the desert night. Several times we left Sprout light up the surroundings with the flashlight and were rewarded with silvery gazes turned our way. :)
