Hot and Getting Hotter

I think we have unconsciously slipped into the routine of getting our jobs done in the morning and staying cool in the afternoon. Summer has returned to the desert. As you can see by the photos above, yesterday's job was securing our auxiliary water tank to the truck for travel tomorrow.


Our canopy helps to keep the trailer cool but it's too hot to sit under it and enjoy a book.




We've taking to sitting on the north side of the trailer, where we find shade and usually a gentle breeze.



While we are trying to find minimum exposure, Tony adjusts his solar panel to follow the sun for maximum exposure. That's about all the work ones wants to do in the hot afternoon sun.


Tony comes by to make sure "Happy Hour" is still on. By 4:30 there is shade and pleasant temperatures under his canopy for the daily gathering.

Tomorrow we are on the move, heading north towards Sedona.
