Just when we stopped at the Frys for some gas and grub...the A/C in the truck died. Left there at 3:30 heading for Tucson with the windows down. Fuck me it was a long, miserable ride home. |

There is a story that manny moons ago Yuma and Lake Havasu used to compete for the hottest place in Arizona. Then, suddenly, Havasu started being hotter consistently. It was discovered that, after the new airport terminal was built they put the thermometer on the shady side.

I work in here, but for the most part (thankfully) indoors.
Those poor bastards on the flight line sure earn their pay during the summer months; I often wonder how I used to manage. |

I'm here until Friday, know any decent spots? I was using the one near the VFW with the M60 out front. Trying to shoot precision on my mat with my friend went good until the overcast burnt away and we were getting cooked and were glistening. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I imagine you're talking about Adair Range (north of the VFW a ways). That's the default answer you'll get fo the most part. However, it is the desert and there's lot's of space. Though I'm not sure of the distance you're looking to shoot, if you look towards Dome Valley, ther's plenty of area to stretch the legs of your rifle(s). Just me mindful of private property signage and your back drop. Also, if you go south of the base (i.e.) county 18th or 19th, there's a lot of area out there as well. As for the heat/sun, wear a sombrero
