Stupid Laughlin hotel thermometer was picking up temperatures from the middle of as asphalt parking lot.
116F TRUE hurts, I could not drive with my driver's window rolled down. When it hit 122F (Twice in my life) I had to drape a soaking towel over my head. (Sonoyta Chihuahua -July) In 1985 in July Ciudad Obregon, Sonora, I wrapped myself in a soaking wet sheet and sat in front of a fan. I had three roof air units going and inside temps were around 110F.
Reading these accounts of high temperatures I can only wonder if I am -that- different. Temperatures in excess of 110F, meaning direct sun's rays, make exposed skin feel like it is burning. 120F+ is torture. Deadly. Touch -anything- with the sun's rays playing on it and my hand jerks back. "Ouch!"
Quicksilver has a 5-row, 32 fins per inch radiator for a reason. One hundred twenty degree plus temperatures make asphalt roads squishy. I remember Mex 15 sounded like it was wet. The highway to Laughlin north of "Needless" had patches that gooshed like oatmeal.
I am so nervous about traveling in that kind of heat, I'll do most anything to avoid it. I drove 40 mph rather than 60 fearing for the tires. Eyes nervously monitoring engine temperatures.
I wonder just how accurate some of these posts are?
No thanks
