With a heat index of 108F/42C at the moment, this does not seem like a time to be thinking about going camping. Honestly, if we were still tent, popup, or hybrid campers, we would cancel this weekends plans. However, we are none of those any longer. We are RVers. While we may not be able to enjoy as many outdoor activities as we would if the weather were more pleasant, we can enjoy some time away from the house and all the things around here we think we should be doing. I wish our son could come camping with us. Then, it would cool off and rain. I don't know why but whenever 3 or more of us camp together sooner or later it cools off and rains. Do you have any plans for this upcoming weekend? If it is hot where you are, how do you plan to beat the heat?

It seemed like anytime my dad took us camping it would rain most of the time. Have fun and stay hydrated.

We can see thunderheads all around but no rain yet. The water tank on the camper is full and we brought 2 cases of bottled water as well.

@wolfgirl569 It hasn't cooled down, but we did get a brief shower last night.

We'll be off in the caravan tomorrow and they are forecasting rain. That looks a great outfit.

It really is a home away from home. We have all the comforts with the freedom to go where we like.

We will do some short hikes each morning before the real heat sets in. The rest of the day we will be inside the RV where it is air-conditioned. I'm hoping to finish my new book over the next few days.

It's hot here as well. I've been out pulling weeds for 30-45 minutes just before noon every day (sticking to the shady parts of the yard). I'm looking forward to a trip up the east coast in a few weeks and am eagerly anticipating cooler temperatures!

Perhaps in a few weeks it will begin to cool off here and there. Did you hear on the news that the heat index for Boston tomorrow could be 105F.

@DWDavis last summer we went to Germany prepared for rain and temperatures in the upper 60. It rained the first day and was in the upper 80s and 90s the entire time we were there. I was in Halifax in mid May of this year. I didn't take my winter coat because I didn't want to be THAT person...it snowed. I think I'll take everything.

It is supposed to be 101 on Saturday, I think I will stay inside with the AC and maybe swim in the evening.

I imagine the pool water gets rather warm in weather like this.

@DWDavis It is about 84 which is plenty warm but it is a large pool so it never gets actually hot.

Hopefully your destination is somewhere that you will enjoy a cool breeze off of a lake, that would make it all worth while, because it is going to be a terribly hot and humid weekend. I have to work on Saturday, and on Sunday we have been invited to our son's home. They have done a lot of work out in the yard and I haven't seen it yet, so I am looking forward to that.

There is no lake here but lots of shaded forest trails and a creek to fish in. Enjoy your visit to your son's house.

Goodness, if I had tried to play badminton outside this afternoon they'd have needed a mop and bucket to pick me up. Our heat index hit 109F/43C.

@DWDavis it was in a gymnasium, same complex as the pool. Though, next time I think we should do badminton first!

We plan on doing any outdoor activities early in the morning and spending the rest of the day inside. Ah, the comforts of RVing: a/c, TV, fridge, just the basics.
