    Welcome

    Hey Lincooln,

    Some NAXJA guys are planning an over nighter in Corral Canyon. That's down near Calipatria I think.
    Mid July. Could be right up your alley if nothings going on MJR.

    100°F to 115°F (35°-50°C)is common in the summer (May to September) Typically low humidity but in the late summer (August/September) humidity can be high from weather fronts coming in off the Gulf of California.

    we mainly call it petrol. but we say gas as well. guess thats what happens when you have so many different races of people.

    Welcome!

    Let's see, yesterday I saw a Cheveron station with Regualar gas at $4.50.9 USD per gallon. Do you call it gas or petrol in NZ
