And I can resist no longer. ITT, you give me tips on how to survive in a hot middle of nowhere place with a dog with nothing but a car.
So far I know I need
Water (lots)
Shade thing
Stuff to hold up the shade thing.
Dog and me food.
Clothes to cover up
Salty stuff
More water or gatorade or something
So I read a thing, and it was helpful. I'ma be using this thread when I get back to post pics experiences etc.
You'll need salt to replace what you lose sweating.

Most food has a fair bit of salt in it.

Yes yes.
Fun Fact:
Beer hydrates you faster than water. (of course you will need water afterwards, because alcohol makes you lose water)
So what started out as a total adventure in the BFE of southern Arizona has turned into a cushy gig. If there's a space in the campsite I'm supposed to be going to, my parents are towing their RV down there for me to stay in this week, so they can use it next week.
Does it still count as adventure? :?
:sad:
Day trips ftw
As long as I don't spag out and sit inside all day.

Fuck that noise.
Refuse to let it stop you, and run the slip n slide with vaseline or other various lubricants, cooking oils, or food products.

Um, the point is that if the whole board is spammed up with his name, his searches become meaningless. What he's doing is searching for threads where he's been mentioned. That's why I was inviting other people to join in. If every thread on the board contains his name, his name no longer attracts him to any of them.
Oh.
I'm back now, and didn't die. I took pictures and will get them developed. :) I got some writing to go with them.
Sounds fun. Was it hatefully desolate or charmingly austere?
It's a surprise for you lot. :D
