I didn't comment earlier on that comment only because I hadn't actually 
checked what the temps had been. But after being in the area for 8 years now, I 
didn't think we had any 80 degree weather during the Rally.   I just 
checked now and the highest we had was 75 and do remember, when they measure that 
high, it could only be for maybe 5 minutes, but its still counted as the 
high.   It was mostly 70 with one day low of 67.

As someone commented earlier at board level, we normally are in the 80's 
during the month of June and the later it gets, the hotter it is.

Okay, to my point; I just came inside after a brief time outside (maybe 30 
minutes) and I was wringing wet.   I was not doing anything strenuous, 
simply putting two more tomato plants in the garden and putting the cages over 
them.   Wasn't even moving fast (I've learned).   Checked when coming inside 
and it was only 83 outside.

As Jack and I found out very quickly, when one is at a higher altitude 
(4700' at our house) it feels a whole lot hotter than when at sea level, so this 
is a factor that should be seriously considered for any event in our area.
