yea this frikkn place aint for the faint of heart. Like I say in my profile..... I live in a place not fit for man nor beast!!!!Oh man that sounds wonderful hahaha. A mild 105.....:drunk2::drunk:
It seems like the heat is good for my indoor veg plants. They're growing faster than usual, I'm having a hard time keeping them under control lol. Last year as soon as it got warm I completely moved outdoor so I didn't see this effect. Still got 12 days till I flip em.
try living here. Gets so hot here even the satellite waves get heated even before they hit the phone. Was friggn 111 the other day. If we don't get monsoon soon we will see 118's. The monsoon moisture helps keep sumer temps to a mild 105 average :fire::fire::fire::fire:
Sounds like when I lived in the Cochella Valley (LaQuinta, Indio) as a kid. Mid 120's was a hellish experience. Everything burned us even the ground. I remember being afraid of the tumbled gravel in front of my house because it would melt through my shoes and burn my feet. Hot for me now is 100. It's still hot but bearable in the shade.
Hang in there.
The water park in Palm Springs makes a killing selling flip flops and water shoes. Without them you will be hopping around from shade to grass to little puddles trying not to burn your feet lol.

But even the little puddles are crazy hot if they're not fresh or deep enough. I was fooled by those enticing little poolside suckers more than once only to find myself being scalded.
Hey, have you ever been to that creek/waterfall, I think it's right before you go up the 7 level. It was so awesome. When you start up the wash there's nothing, then wet sand, then running water, finally there's a sandstone cave with a hole in the top and a waterfall flowing through it. It was a perfect escape from the summer heat.
I don't know if it's still there with the way the developers destroyed everything with their mansions and golf courses. Hopefully the Desert Conservancy was able to save it but it's been almost four decades so who knows. I have very fond memories of the LaQuinta but I'm still a little bitter at them destroying my dunes for a golf course. I used to hunt Indian artifacts before they unceremoniously scraped it off the face of the planet. Heard the place is a ghetto now.
No but I'd like to check it out. Me and some friends hiked up into Taquitz Canyon in Palm Springs once and almost died of heat and thirst. We decided to climb a mountain and then it got so hot we were dehydrating since we brought no water like idiots. I remember getting to the bottom of the mountain and there was a stream that I sprinted to like a madman to get a drink of water. I just dunked my head and started drinking like a fish lol. I actually was getting scared a little.
Wow I could not imagine that. "Everything burned us even the ground." :cry:Sounds like when I lived in the Cochella Valley (LaQuinta, Indio) as a kid. Mid 120's was a hellish experience.

When my air conditioner bit the dust a month or so ago temps in my tent was in the mid 90s and even got up to 100, this was for around 2.5 days and they seemed to love it,I was kinda surprised,all I did was make sure to keep em watered well and hope they made it. When I checked on em I was shocked that they looked better than previously...crazy.It seems like the heat is good for my indoor veg plants.
