Miserable Heat

 

Adventure Location:

Decatur, Alabama

Date: June 28, 2023

The morning walk was interesting. Not a leaf was moving as we made our way along the morning adventure. We took extra water with us since it was a still day with nearly a 100F forecast. Shortly after we got going well we passed the first slough and noticed slick water, no breeze ruffling the leaves and very warm already.

That gave us a hint of what the day was about to show us about the weather. We definitely put a slower pace on the walk with the hot muggy no wind weather. It was slow walking for the others we howdyed along the trail. Nobody seemed to be moving briskly.

We got to an open area where we can see I65 crossing the river and swamp land and stopped to check the weather so to speak. It was not very nice humidity and heat wise.

A little after the one mile mark we took a careful inventory of our abilities and chose to make this a shorter than 3 mile walk and headed back to the Castle. We were really happy about that when we got back and even happier when we got cooled down a good bit.

As we got near the end of the trail we got this picture of some folks cooking humans in a boat. They can have it as far as the OFM is concerned.

After lunch we stopped at a store to get a small item and tried out our new Debit Cart. It did not work. Back home we got on the phone and just shy of three hours later we hung up the phone with a guarantee that it was now fixed. We shall find out the truth about that tomorrow. A full time Rver needs to have a way of getting cash easily while out on the road for times where credit cards are not accepted. It is not often these days but it still happens here and there.

Any way it was a tiresome day over all so we hope to sleep well tonight so we can get busy trying to have some more fun in the heat?
