Dang it's HOT!
Had a great week at Arbuckle Lake but man was it hot 98-101 F. Our site had pretty good morning & evening shade but from 12-5 it was cooking, the main 15K a/c didn't stand a chance of keeping it below 80F in there. Of course that's still better then the 101F the folks in tents were suffering. I really felt for some of those folks, they looked miserable. The bedroom A/C will be installed this week before our next trip out, I put it off too long & really wish I hadn't. Other then that we had a great time, it was nice & quiet last week, the calm before the storm I guess.

kristi,
You wont regret that purchase. That was one the main things I had to have when we bought our 5er. ITs paid for itself in these NC hot and humid days.
Now I am looking forward to some fall weather camping. Today it is beautiful outside low 80s & no humidity. I just wish I was off to enjoy it..

We just had a beautiful weekend but never needed the AC, in fact all summer we only used it 3-4 times. All summer it has only hit 90 I think 4 times. Enjoy the AC when it goes in.

Randy- I grew up on the Carolina Coast near Jville, 80s & low humidity is rare this time of year Enjoy!
Gary- Rub it in already! Just remember in a few months you'll be shoveling snow & we will still be camping...

Kristi, believe me, Labor Day is here so for us, our days are numbered. Don't like that at all.

It was hotter in Galveston in April than it has been here all summer. Right now it's 74*, The hottest day so far was July 21, it was 90*. July 22 it was 68 and the next hottest this summer was 81 (yesterday). Nights are about 55-60 and we've turned on the A/C maybe 4 or 5 days, mainly to get rid of the humidity.
If this summer is any indication of things to come, I certainly hope the pole barn door doesn't get iced in again this year !!!!!
If it does, we'll be measuring the temps in Galveston all winter long

Let's hope old man winter is a little gentler this year for you if not have a great season in Galveston. Maybe we will see you down there.

A record cool summer. I don't think it has broken 100 degrees in Houston yet!
