Mesa - oranges - cool not cold nights. I can wrap around that point.

We had a training session at work today and I was all set for an early finish and a run south. naturally, we fought computer hang ups all day instead. No south trip today but maybe I can work out something soon. I very well might just go down to the Ritas for a quick look tomorrow evening after hours and see what it looks like there. These very warm days but rapidly cooling nights are kind of interesting. Checking temp changes around sundown is intriguing. Intuitively I would think that early afternoon would offer the best movement options for snakes because the temp ranges are more stable than around sundown. In other words, teh temp stays in a reasonable range for a longer time period as the surface warms. Surface temps seem to change very quickly at night. Extrapolating into mass temps may not be fair so i need to look at that too. i know I need more measurements tomake conclusions but I'm talking out loud.

I'll look for your wheels when Codie and I are down that way this weekend.
