Stories like this have been around for the last 20 years.
Yep...Found few dead people in the desert over the years. By the time
they are reported missing, by the time we find them they look like
burnt beef jerky. It is a serious issue. Where I live, I have seen
135 degrees and we are consistently
Hi Jim and List,
You are about 60 miles away and you are right about it cooling down to only 110
degrees at night in the Summer. A friend of mine sent me a meat thermometer
since he could not find a temperature gauge that exceeded 120 degrees.
The National Weather Service shaves off 10 degree

Hi Chris and List,
Yes, the weather is excellent 9 months out of the year, I love the desert and
you get somewhat acclimatized. I used to think 80 degrees was a little on the

Water, you can never have too much in desert areas. Tucson for example 110
daily from June to august. You should Always have water, do not leave town
without it as even changing a flat tire in that heat can be fatal. We
ouch! Yes heat is dangerous for us but to some extent it does help preserve
meteorites. Try running a jack hammer in a 240 degree f rotary lime kiln for an
hour or more to knock down an ash ring while your boots soles are melting into
the floor. Or cleaning an aluminum furnace while its running
Yeah//being a volunteer is tough!! People come here from all over the
world to play for a few days and dream of living where I live
everyday. It's a tough life. Millions of Snowbirds flock here in the
winter to get away from where they live.yeah, it's tough out
herefairly clean air, 99%
heaven forbid they take away your guns! Whats next? Meteorites? They have been
known to kill cows and dogs! Over 30k people in the good ol USA were killed by
infections like antibiotic resistant staff last year.and hiv aids is the
leading cause of death for people under 40years. The CDC groups
