It is HOT! We chose I-40, not sure it helped. Driving yesterday afternoon, the outside air temp gauge hit 108. We had to run the generator and the house AC just to keep it below 90 in the back. A quick afternoon shower only dropped it to the mid-90's.
Decided to set the alarm clock this morning with the theory that we could get most of our driving in while it was cooler. Ha! At 7:30 this morning it was still 82 outside. Today we find someplace with a pool.
