Hmmmm... Last place I shared a tent with my late wife was Pioneer Lakes Basin.
<https://maps.google.com/maps?ll=37.46444,-118.80136&z=14&t=h&hl=en> About the
same time of year, but not as snowy that
year. No bottle, and the tent had a thin layer of ice on it in the mornings.
I will admit, though, that it was a horse trip; she wasn't outdoors person
enough for that serious a hike with big pack.
About 15 years earlier, I shared a tent in the same area with my ex-wife and
our one year old son. He had a diaper on,
but not I, nor a bottle.
This one was on our own feet. She carried the kid and I carried almost
everything else for a four day loop. The next
day's off trail hike over a low spot in the ridge to the north, down an
amazingly long and loose scree slope and over a
field of boulders from car to house size and on to Steelhead lake was the
exciting part. :-)
