So the weather forcast for Boulder City, CO said high of 102deg. (feels like 99). I can assure you there is no real difference between 99 and 102deg. I have never experienced such hot weather in my life. It was already dripping hot at 7am. And you know how they say "dry heat" is not as hot....yeah, not so much. Hot is HOT!
We made it to Boulder City (with a small detour into AZ and back, due to a communication error). We got a camp site at Lake Mead Recreation Area, which is quite lovely, especially in the evening just before the sun goes down. We plan to spend most of tomorrow in Boulder City seeing the Hoover Dam early in the morning and coming back to Lake Mead for swimming, as tomorrow's high is forcasted to be 103deg. We will head toward the Grand Canyon tomorrow evening, when it will hopefully be cooler for the RV engine. The forcast in the Williams, AZ area is for highs in the 80s and we can't WAIT for the "cooler" weather.
A good friend described our trip as an "epic adventure". I have to tell you, after crossing the desert in a "wounded" RV without being able to use the AC for fear of an engine fire, with tired, cranky kids...and tired, cranky parents...Odysseus has nothing on us! And yet, we are proud that we got through it and we are looking forward to the next great "trial" of our cross country Odyssey. :)
