Trying To Stay Cool In The Heatwave

We often camp at a Private campground near Sultan, WA. Gold Bar Nature Trails. Hearing we were going to experience a record-breaking heatwave we headed to the mountains from the desert side of WA.

As it turned out the weather was 104 f instead of 115 at home, but at least there were trees, shade and a beautiful creek filled with clean ice and snow runoff.

The creek is clean, fast running and fairly cold, exactly what the conditions required! Of course we had to build some rock formations.

We had a nice time, but the "West Side" of WA is not well prepared for these temperatures, so air conditioners failed, there were power spikes that impacted transformers and many other issues, so we headed home this morning.

Four and a half hours back home where it was a cozy 113. I managed to capture the hottest temperature we saw just outside of Yakima, WA.

I guess the worst isn't over yet, so we are going to have to find more things to do to try to beat the heat.

Enjoy your Hot weather, that river looks pretty good

Wow

It looks like a lovely place to escape some of the heat... but seriously, this stuff has to end! The official high here at the downtown firestation was 102.9 today, but here at our house it topped out at 89 because we're so close to the water.

I'm in Kumasi, Ghana- West Africa, and We're currently in the rainy season. There are frequent thunderstorms and heavy downpour here and there.

Really very hot weather 117 F! We live in UK, not hot, 16 F and cloudy day. Gold Bar Nature really looking very relaxing place, trees, shade and a beautiful creek filled with clean ice and snow runoff really attracted me.

It was good to hear that you have campaigned to have a good time. You have chosen a very beautiful place. Very beautiful view. The calm of nature is seen. The water is very clear. It was bad to see you have to go back early due to bad weather and various problems.In our country weather is good, it is raining heavily.

wow this place is really so wonderful! And if the environment is cold then there is no question. Really this is the only suitable place for a little comfort from this scorching heat. If only I could go there . Even though the weather here is much better now, I still can't resist the urge to visit such a beautiful place. Enjoy your beautiful time with your beautiful place.

It is a charming place for a good recreation. We must not forget that it is a gift from Almighty God. Thank you for exhibiting such beautiful photos.

Good luck sir @whatsup ✌️
