There the hot water in the day and very cool in the night feel yo difficult to adjust. No food and just Hot weather may bring you to the death.Best longboardshttps://longboardsreview.com/best-longboards/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6424102787566503476.post-35481571389866863612012-07-25T19:40:55.759-07:002012-07-25T19:40:55.759-07:00Kristen,
We lived in the desert before moving to...Kristen,<br /> We lived in the desert before moving to Fraser. I absolutely loved it. Of course we had a swamp cooler to keep cool at night. I love the smell of the plants in the desert when they're being baked by the heat. I love the birds who live there. But I also missed living around trees, so I guess I'm glad I had the experience of living in the desert, but am happy my life has taken me to other climates, too. <br /> The best signs in the desert are for "low water crossings" Ha Ha...why they aren't called "high water - don't cross unless you plan on losing your vehicle and your life" is a real mystery. Do not ever think you can make it across a flash flood crossing the road, no matter how shallow you think it is. It will wash you and your car away. Seriously...it happened to me (I was a passenger) in a ranger's vehicle in Big Bend Nat'l park - very memorable, and it resulted in a five mile slog on foot through the rain to get back to the highway, where we hitched a ride to the nearest ranger station (another 20 miles). <br />Luckily, I never experienced a dust storm...let me know how you like it!<br />Lizards are a riot, aren't they? Snakes can be quite frightening...be aware!<br />Enjoy your new life in the desert and best of health and luck during your next ironman event.<br />Susan StoneSusan Stonenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6424102787566503476.post-11261874638556254722012-07-24T20:58:46.135-07:002012-07-24T20:58:46.135-07:00great article Kristen, I also love the desert, and...great article Kristen, I also love the desert, and your description of it was great. I thought you might not be crazy about how hot it is there in summer, but it sounds like it hasn't been that hot. I posted a video from NBC nightly news, of a flash flood near Tucson, I guess that happens often. Be glad you aren't in Phoenix, they had a huge dust storm there today.Glad you're enjoying it there! regards, from BillBill Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14818198026505222653noreply@blogger.com
