In that "dry-heat" the difference between 90 and 100 is huuuuge. The desert is famous for those washboard roads - a little rain on that hard caliche and that is the result. Glad you are safely parked and I am so looking forward to some pics of desert birds ( all the ones I never bothered to notice growing up out there :)).

The Natural Arch and Bridge Society identifies a bridge as a subtype of arch that is primarily water-formed.<br /><br />That has always been my understanding of the difference also, an arch is formed my wind erosion and a bridge by water.

Actually, it's a good way to exercise your generator, they love to run and deteriorate if they don't get used.

Everyone keeps telling us how unusually humid it is too. Dew points have been in the 50s and 60s, and that is way too humid in this heat. We're looking forward and cooler temps and drier air.
