It's perfect weather down there during the winter for doing summer stuff!

Howdy Ron,
As you know all deserts are not created equal. The one nice thing about your desert is you don't get down around 10° during the winter like we do.

You must have poor blood circulation. If I lived where you do my Benz and I would melt. At least when it's cold you can always put more clothes on. When it's hot you can only take so many off and then the cops will arrest you.

Nah -- clothes are unnatural -- unless you're on a motorcycle of course.

No, seriously. Tundras are deserts. The definition is the amount of precipitation per year. They have less than 10" of ppt/year. Arctic tundras are deserts, by definition.

There are lots of deserts that are NWRs. Not many tundras. So if the issue to you is protecting biodiversity than your argument is intact.

I'm with you Bot. To me, the risk to the ANWR isn't worth the gains from the exploration.

Howdy J.R.B.,
You go to a point and then you put clothes on to keep the sun off. If you are in a survival situation you cover up. For me, I don't thaw out till it hits 80°.

Frank -- it sounds to me like you may need to find yourself another desert...

Howdy Ron,
Would like to move back down near Tucson or even down in the Douglas area. It doesn't get as cold there as here.

Howdy Crash9,
We were down to 16° a few nights back. We have had cloud cover so we have been staying in the high 20's. We usually average about 15° at night.
