Temperatures are going up to 92F for our GS troop trip on Sunday. Parents are asking if we're going to cancel. How can you make memories without a little suffering?

Besides, stop 1 is at the Turkey Hill Experience where they get to eat ice cream and sample iced teas.

Icebox with cool, damp towels? (And plenty of water, of course, but I don't need to say it.)

We will have a cooler with water and I was thinking of packing some bandanas/cloths to use for cooling. I'm just frustrated that people won't take a trip unless conditions are ideal.

Ok. I went on Amazon and ordered some cheap folding hand fans that I can pass out as needed.

And those will make some nice memento; just have them in a raffle at the end. (Or keep them for the next trip! Temps are not going down in the foreseeable future!)

Bah. Put ‘em in 50lb packs and make ‘em march there. They’ll curse you now, but will be thankful years from now living in a post-apocalyptic hellscape.

meltwater from a cooler is the best - one bandana aound the neck, and another around the head, including the tips of your ears, then find shade and any sort of breeze - experience from being on location in Ft. Lauderdale in late May.
