Last weekend, we went on the hottest canoe trip ever! We drove 5 1/2 hours to Eminence, MO. It was so bright that I had to cover my legs in the car because they were getting sunburned. Once we got there and got the tents setup, we were soaked in sweat. We hung out in the river for awhile to cool off. The float on Saturday was a blast! It didn't seem so hot while we were on the river. Fortunately we were smart enough to keep up with the sunscreen, but both of us forgot to reapply to our legs and ended up burned pretty good. We got off the river late afternoon and went to make burgers. Then I felt miserable. It was too hot in the tent to sleep (our tent fan batteries were dying); my legs were on fire; and it was even hot outside the tent. I went and sat in the car with the a/c on for about 10 minutes to cool off. Finally, Cody woke up and realized why the fan wasn't working and changed the batteries. I finally got to sleep sometime after 1. Remember that 5 1/2 hour drive....we had to come home the next morning. I was feeling sick from all the heat and no sleep. Luckily, Cody was sweet enough to drive the whole way and let me nap (I did offer to drive several times). Overall, it was a good trip....I just wish we would have gone on a weekend that wasn't one million degrees.
And Cody wants to go camping again in a few weeks....
