118-119 the last several days on the Colorado at Bullhead City, Az.
And there was a homeless person sitting, in full sun, at the turn in to Sams Club etc. No hat and short sleeves.
I don't believe I want visit any place where it is 130 degrees.
On the cost at Qui Nhon, Vietnam I thought ti was hot an no relief and high humidity. About 114 was the hottest I think but don't quote me.
Down on the Colorado river the humidity has to be high and in 118 degree heat..and people were on jet skis.

I would go if I could get some free time and a spot with power.
These records always sneak up when I am not available.
It would be a test of survival skills for sure.
Oh well maybe early next year I can get out again...

Only the insane go to DV in August. There's a reason it is called "Death Valley."

(says a guy who loves that place, btw)
