The temp in Florida this time of year is perfect... For diving in some
of the rivers for fossils... That is if you don't mind hunting in
black water!! I need something to hunt here since meteorites are
pretty well off the huntable list in Florida. :-) Taking a little time
over the next week to scout out some rivers in northern Florida and
Georgia, so far pretty fun!
Hope everyone is having a great summer!
Best Regards,
Greg Hupe

Hi Adam and List,
Well, at least it is a dry heat........ ;)
Seriously though, that kind of heat is lethal. I knew it got hot out
there, but I had no idea it got up to 140F. That is nuts.
I just told my wife and she said - "Why would anyone want to live
there?" LOL
I told her - METEORITES.
I won't complain any more when the temps hit the 90's here in Florida.
We get brutal humidity that makes the air feel like you are
breathing pudding. The heat index regularly hits 105 or 110 during
the summer here, but that feels positively comfortable compared to
140F!
Best regards and stay cool,

Dear List Members,
For those who are thinking about hunting the Mojave this time of
year, be
prepared to hunt at night when it cools down to around 100 degrees.
They
never
report accurate temperatures on the news here in the Summer because
it is
bad
for tourism. There is only one temperature gauge that is not buried
underground
in the Laughlin/Bullhead City area and it read an astonishing 130
degrees
yesterday at 1:30 pm, not even the hottest part of the day which is
around
4:00
pm. The sign was in the shade so I can only imagine how hot it
would be in
the
sun. My engine temperature gauge was registering 140 degrees
before I even
started the "cold" engine that had not been run since the day before!
Image of sign I passed yesterday at 1:30 pm:
