That is stuff I remember a little too well... folks in AZ can relate... I still remember camping in Lake Pleasant in Arizona - the temperature never got below 115 degrees (except at night) and it was an interesting learning experience! http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/noncgi/smiles/wow.gif

I hope they send me South for the winter!! I would rather face the ice down there than the snow up here!! http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...s/biglaugh.gif
