Whew Boy It Sure Is Hot!!

Are most people camping? Or are you just holding in the air conditioning waiting for cooler weather?

Me personally it's just to hot in these parts for my liking. Most times this time of year I don't have the urge for camping. I do look at past fall pictures, and that does lift my spirits. The first picture was just as fall starts, very little color could be seen, but you could tell that fall was in the air. #2 is local lake in my area, they just start the winter draw down. #3 is coming across the Smokey mtns. #4 is a local river near the Virginia and Tennessee state line. Which my wife enjoy canoeing there.

Just curious how everyone on here is doing this summer. View attachment 4801

Where I live, it has been 100 degrees, but 30 minutes away, it is 65 degrees under redwood canopies. I spent the hottest days this summer camping.

 

Are the redwoods in a higher altitude area, or is it just the thick canopy that cools it down?

 

Thick canopy and proximity to the coastal fog. I live under a thick canopy of madrones, tanoaks, pine and just a few redwoods, but 30 miles inland. The place I like to camp is a little lower altitude but dropping toward the coast. Microclimate
