Sipping red wine and looking out at a snowy landscape.
I am from Minnesota...you know, Land of 10,000 Lakes, so I agree with Tiff. Heat is no problem if I have a body of water to jump into. We camped on the rim of Gunnison Canyon in Colorado on a 100 degree plus day and I remember looking longingly down into the canyon at the river a good mile below. After a week of desert camping, we treated ourselves to A/C and a pool in Estes Park and drank a lotta Coors. Winter is in my Biology; I don't do heat well.

LOL, AuntAnnie, you don't do heat well. I am starting to think that might be me too! 
It is quite cold in Portland but the sun is out or sort of since it is setting, but it is a dry day so I am happy.
Tonight is more of that tasty Siduri ~ Cheers!

McManis merlot. Very nice.
When I was in college I took a 10,000 mile one month trip from NY thru various states out west (NV, CA, OR, WA, MT, SD...) and back in my little Datsun pick up truck with a camper for two. We stayed in the camper most of the time except in Phoenix when it was 116, and Sacramento, when it was 112, when we splurged on htoel (AC) rooms.
The trip was one of the most exciting and memorable experiences in my life.

Hi Statia, This is a great thread!
Thin gin makes me grin >
Hottest place was either Southern Florida in August and New Orleans in Aug. It was defi b/c of the high humidity. However, Nawlins was such a fun town that I didn't mind never fully drying off from the A.M. shower.
Wow - LOL, LOL, I've learned of some patches of H* on earth from reading these threads.

Workto: Zicam has worked best for everyone I know in the most recent years....I haven't had a cold last more than a day or two in 6 years, as I use it immediately when the drips/scratchy throat start!
A pulmonologist told me about it and I've been spreading the word ever since!
It may even help you avoid a really 'hot' experience!

Hey Statia. I love the "poison" thread and I've been missing them left and right. Friday was a Christmas dinner party, Saturday was the "First Christmas" experience in Columbus, IN. I did NOT touch the camels. Or any thing else for that matter.
Both nights a VO Manhattan.
Hottest Trip? Had to be family vacations sweating my a** off in Disneyworld in the 70's in July and August. Never, ever again.

I posted once already, but remembered another "hotter" trip. My dh and I met friends in Laughlin, Nevada in August-GASP!- we drove down in a convertible, and yes, we did drive with the top down. My hair was probably a cross between Carrot Top and Don King when we arrived.
The next day, we went to Lake Mojave, where our friends had rented a houseboat. I remember it was around 113, and waves of heat were coming off the marina parking lot.
The lake itself was a non-refreshing 84 degrees, which made the ocean in Hawaii seem like Antartica by comparison. We all swam, but it was quite a different expereince, sort of Mad Max does Nevada.
