Title: Spent 8 days camping
Post by: Ripsnort on July 10, 2006, 08:08:09 PM
...and ran across this article. If you like to camp, read it and relate. Though I didn't encounter this during our recent trip, I have had trips like it in the past:

Regarding my trip, another great week of camping/fishin/waterskiing in the "Desert" as we call Eastern Washington in the summer time. Avg. temp was 95 deg with about 20% humidity.

Which is exactly the reason to put a pack on your back and walk where the ****ing camper trailers cannot go.

Sounds like a good trip but you seriously call that the "desert"?  Serioulsy 20% humidity at 95F is bad?  Come to south Texas during the summer time my friend!

i spent about half of an august in the davis mtns & big bend area, 1992 iirc.
really spectacular, but the august week i spent in organ pipe national whatever was warmer & drier.
both are great places to go.  
this august i will be in E. WA...the difference between the eastern WA desert & the SW is that in WA the sun is up like 17 hours a day in summer.  
last summer i was in E. OR, the sum goes down at 9 & the nighthawks come out in droves & they make this annoying buzzing noise that keep you up, then at around 4am the robins start singing, so you really do have to get drunk & take a nap in the afternoon...

Did you miss the "avg." in my post? ;)  It hit 107 one day. Dry heat though, no humidity.  South Texas is much hotter with humidity, you can keep the humidity there, we don't want it. :)

Its a walleye. Fresh water cod...best eating fresh water fish there is on this planet.  It was 6 lbs. and 25 ", used a spinner with a worm, trolling.

Excellent! When do we leave? I'll carry all the equipment and you can carry my boat on your back. :D

Or even better far down a trail only a jeep or jeep like Vehicle can go. Nothing fullsize counts, they don't fit on many trails.
