Heat Wave – Aguanga, CA

Temperatures predicted to be in triple digits, caused us to leave Santee a couple of days early and hurry up to Aguanga so that we could unhook and set-up in less than heat stroke temperatures. To add to the heat, there were high wind advisories for the same days. With a high profile rig wind makes a big difference when driving.

So, now we are here with temperatures reaching lower 100s around 1pm. The nights are down in the lower 70s high 60s. But the time just before sunrise and long after sunset, the temperatures are hard to even comprehend. Our AC is holding its own and we are able to keep the RV/tin can in the high 70s.
Going to the truck, taking Karma for her walks/runs, emptying the waste tanks, shopping for food, etc. are tasks that take all of our energy and dehydrate us fast. We are drinking lots of water, juices and eating fruits/vegetables.

Then add the Santa Ana winds, that moves the humidity into single digits. Can you believe that “single digits”? Hence the Southern California fires in the news. The fires are West of Interstate 15 about half way between here and where we came up from on Tuesday (Santee). We are hoping that the fires, wind and temperatures won’t be problems when we head back to Santee at the end of May.
