Looks pretty toasty up there for the next week or so Jim. The AC will be on full alert.

the long range forecast is calling for 90 degrees under a clear sky and with a 0% chance of rain on the day we are scheduled to get there :roll:

just got word that its 102 degrees in Estelline right now .... for this time of year, that has to be a record .... sure hope they get all of that type of nonsense out of there before we arrive
We had that heat here last week and sent it to the Dakota’s. Now we’re in a cold front with a forecast for a low tonight of 36. This too we will send to the Dakota’s so by the time you get there maybe it will cool down. Happy to help! :lol:

your effort to move coo- ler temps west is most certainly appreciated .... the long range forecast in Estelline for the day we arrive is a of high 91° -- a RealFeel® of 95°-- and a RealFeel in the Shade™ of 89°.... we aren't looking forward to setting up in those temps but doing so is nothing new .... with his flight being about a week away, we were really looking forward to taking our 5 year old grandson to the RDU Observation Park to watch planes take off and land .... we did that a couple of years ago when our daughter and he flew out to South Dakota .... he has no memory of it .... sometimes it pays to be paranoid .... decided to check their website and the park is still closed because of Covid .... we did call and confirm it .... we do hope our daughter may be able to find time to take him before their flight .... in a few minutes we will go out and use the time finish cleaning up from our new curtain install .... we will also start moving summer clothing into the camper

well, our camper's underbelly has been buttoned up .... so far as I know, mechanically she's almost ready to head west .... with actual temps in the 90's and the "Real Feel" considerably north of that, my line between warming up and wearing out is pretty dang thin

well, the camper and truck have both been thoroughly washed and look about as good as they can look after so many miles over so many years .... she's parked in a very wet area that should dry before morning .... at that time we will accelerate loading and storing equipment and supplies
