    Hell will freeze over tomorrow night!

    For the last month I've been enjoying and sometimes not enjoying the weather in the Northern Everglades, right now I'm wearing a T-shirt despite waking up to frost on everything the last two mornings. It seems you can pretty much count on a warm late part of the week and getting cold again on the weekends, that changed last week.

    As mentioned, it's in the mid 70's right now but get this: It's supposed to get down to 24° tomorrow night with winds blowing 25mph and gusting up to 40, in The Everglades! I've chickened out and booked a room for the next two nights, a three season tent just ain't gonna cut it with that sort of cold blowing in.

    No, The Everglades isn't really hell despite the snakes, alligators and packs of feral hogs running through camp every night but this sure isn't the he place I want to be in the summer, that's for sure!

    This is why most people choose to live in a stable home, with heat, fresh water, electricity, a toilet and shower, etc.

      There's running water and a shower here, but no hot water, just what comes out of the ground. Plenty good enough once the temp gets above 70 or so. You can see my electric source in the photo charging a 20A lithium cell bank, the cell phone and night light don't require much and an outlet on the bike serves as backup.

        Electricity from sunlight?!? What manner of witchcraft is this?

          Move to Canada. Climate is an odd thing these days. We're in the Rockies and it's supposed to be around O°f with 2 feet of snow in the yard but right now it's 40°f and no snow on the ground. Down right balmy here in the great not so white north.

            Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.
