Surprising Breezes!

The days are hot, hot, hot - Sam Cook said it all right!! Most times the temperature is about 100F and our van heats up to 104 or so when we are going uphill and have to turn the air conditioner off to get RipsJoy going! There is always a good breeze blowing as we travel and an occasional breeze when we are off the road. We have been staying in some "no frills" camping sites at times. It is all a matter of availability at the time we arrive. The first time we put in at a campsite with outhouses, i.e., the non-flush kind, I was impressed with the "state of the art" cans! Clean, well maintained, large and pleasant. I sat down and jumped up again with a "wow- what's that?!!"

These toilets have air blowing from the inside out! Okay, that was a shock! Rip couldn't figure out how come I was so long coming back. Let's just say that good breezes are hard to find in this Arizona desert land!

  1. Hello Travellers,
    So good to hear from you again! Glad the breezes did not blow in the mosquitoes!!!
    Was Tortilla Flat, population of 6, the rare stagecoach stop? Hope you got the recipe for the "prickly pear ice cream" -- sounds delicious to go with the cookies!
    Have a great day exploring! BiG Hugs, Evelyn
