I made that same mistake and bought a cheap fleece blanket in Waynesboro for 
a cover.  What made it worse, I split the $5 blanket with a friend by cutting 
it in half and it just barely covered me.  If wasn't enough in the Shenadoahs, 
but worked fine afterwards, up to Glencliffe.  I got around the problem by 
either tenting which afforded more heat or when sheltering to use my tent for 
additional warmth.

to keep her warmer sleeping bag until atleast Front Royal.
