HOT

It hit 105 today!! Thank heavens for air conditioning; today would not have been fun without it. What's really nice is when the sun goes down. The baking stops and things do start cooling. We turn the AC off around 9:30 pm and open all the windows for a marvelous cool breeze. The low this morning was 73. Now that may sound warm to all of you, but we actually felt cold (grin). According to the weather report, it's going to stay in the triple digits for at least the next week (maybe longer). At least it's a dry heat!!

We are pulling out of Queen Valley Sunday morning and heading for Laughlin, NV. Unfortunately, even Laughlin will be 105 when we get there. We were planning on doing some caching while there, but it may be too hot. Not sure, but we may just go out for a short period in the mornings and stay inside during most of the day and come back out in the evening. May even wander the river walk to keep cool.

We are almost ready to go. The sun shields still have to come down and the awnings need to be put up, but we won't do those things until after sunset tomorrow.

This morning while Ken was taking stuff up to the shed, he saw this on the road. Needless-to-say, he had to grab the camera and take a couple pictures.


This guy isn't the biggest we have seen, but he is just as poisonous. He really wasn't that worried about us and never did coil up. He just leisurely crawled off into the brush.

I just looked at the thermometer on the coach's dash, and it is showing 99. That's because the sun is setting below the hills and isn't shinning on the front of the coach any more. Now it will get dark fast and the temp will drop to the high 70s...Sweet Relief!!
