Dane, we only heard a cicada for about a few minutes each day, must have been tooooo hoottt!
Anyway, we survived just fine! Nothing like a screen hose for being part of nature !

Ray, hope to see you in September!   We saw an R Pod in a driveway near Sweetwater, along the Mullica. Anybody we might know?]]> Mon, 09 Jul 2012 22:09:59 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2720&PID=25896#25896 Heat : Originally posted by Podsible... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2720&PID=25884#25884 Author: this_is_nascar

I found some 12 volt clip on fans at Walmart on clearance and put in some cigar lighter outlets front and back, so we did have moving air.
We sure didn't do much moving around , though!! Great birding though - saw a bald eagle flying along the Wading River at about 40 feet, on it's way some where! Lots of small birds in the pine/oak scrub. Including a pair of Prairie Warblers - a pretty yellow with black stripping little bird. Whip-poor-wills kept us entertained almost all night! There was a tree between us and the next site with a hollow in it and busy pair of flickers feeding a hungry brood all day.
Looked like the heat kept folks home- the camp ground area we were in had more than 125 sites - maybe 20 were filled, and many had reserved tags, but no occupants!

We survived with lots of water and iced tea. A bag of ice 7 lbs lasted barely 18 hours, but the little frig on propane kept Italian Ices frozen just fine!
 
 
I'm very familiar with the area (live about 30-miles away).  Wow, you have more nerve than I do.  It was way too hot for camping like that, in my opinion.  Matter of fact, we have a seasonal campsite in the pines (my larger Jayco) and decided not to go down to the campsite due to the heat and we have full hook-ups there.

Podsible, I love going to sleep to the song of the whiporwill, nothing like it, unles its Southern Indiana Kady did's (cicada) what a sweet song, I hate it during hot weather and Donna makes me close the bedroom windows and I can't hear the critters outside in the woods behind our house, we are heading out next weekend to enjoy it first hand.]]> Sun, 08 Jul 2012 21:39:34 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2720&PID=25877#25877 Heat : Cool! https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2720&PID=25875#25875 Author: techntrek

We spent last weekend in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota, Dakota Regional Park.  Using just the fan in the camper kept things bearable during the day and temperatures very comfortable for sleeping -- without a cover, however.  The campground was located basically just across the street from the Minneapolis Zoo, which we visited twice and handy to shopping and museums.  ]]> Wed, 04 Jul 2012 12:46:07 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2720&PID=25771#25771 Heat : Yuh, we usually spend beginning... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2720&PID=25718#25718 Author: kymooses

We were in Glendale in Elizabethtown.  Gauges had us at 105 Friday night as we set up camp and 103 on Saturday.
 
We got our butts up early this morning hitched up the Pod, came home and cancelled our reservations for next weekend so that we could recover!

Donna and I did last thursday and friday night at Hoosier National Forest, it is the hotest temps we have so far endured. OOhh I put an inside and outside wireless temp gauge in, and we saw 101 thursday afternoon and 103 friday. We hiked 4.5 miles and went to tipsaw beach, but alas, it was too hot. we pulled out Saturday 6/30 morning early to beat the heat, the pod was cool inside with the a/c on, but it is so noisy. Noise is better than hot. We are looking forward to fall camping. ]]> Sun, 01 Jul 2012 21:20:08 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2720&PID=25703#25703
