Not today. Today was only 105 degrees. The Weatherbug says it's still 102 at 8:45...we show 93. The A/C in our rv has it down - finally - to 84. Tomorow is 107. We're in flat, hot Illinois. The crops here really show the drought - corn that should be 8 ft high now is only 4 ft and brown. Fields are brown. The campground is green and lush with tall trees and a Corps of Engineers lake. We're just thankful for "full hoop-ups", meaning electricity, running water, and a direct sewage dump from the rv. Ahhhh, the little things in life aren't so little after all.
When we left KY this morning, we decided to have the RV weighed so we can be sure the tire pressures are right. Would you believe that our entire "rig" (rv & car) weigh over 19,000 pounds!?? No wonder we don't get 40 mpg. We DID average around the same 7.4-ish mpg today and our mph average went up to 50 mph. Flatter roads and more confidence in our handling of the rv.
Smoke did finally settle in. Sleep in the lap of her non-driving human makes a lot of things better. She was still smart enough to hang her head in front of one of the air conditioning vents.
No pictures for this blog. Luke will download the few we took and I'll post them then. I'm still recovering from the heat during setting up the rv in the heat (that happens as you hit middle age...)
