Hotness. This is not the time of year in the SE when we typically choose to camp, even in pursuit of an eclipse. Ours has working A/C and I might insist on driving it in case traffic turns out to be as bad as predicted. Nothing like a mobile base camp when things get awful on the road.

I planned a scouting outing to find an area near Sky Valley where it won't be as crowded, but my schedule and my Syncro's gearbox had other plans.
