We arrived at Wal-mart in Cottonwood at 3pm. The temperature was 82 degrees. We set up and went into Wal-Mart for our groceries. The temperatures continued to climb to 87 degrees. Not good when you can not turn the air on or even a fan on. The temperature out in the sun was 112 degrees. We were so glad when the sun finally went behind Wal-Mart, so we were finally in the shade. Even with the sun down it took a long time for the Nest to cool down to be comfortable. Our stay at Wal-mart in Loveland CO. was the only other stay that was worse with temperatures in the 90's. By 11:00 PM we finally got down to 77 degrees. The night was very quiet except for someone who was talking on his cell phone around 4AM outside of our Nest according to Joe. I vaguely remember it. As soon as we got up and ready to go, we headed to the Dead Horse State Park Campground, which was 3 miles away. We would have gone directly from Flagstaff to this campground, but when Joe called to make a reservation, they told him they did not take reservations and it was on a first come first serve basis. They also told him the campground was full on weekends unless you showed up early on Friday. We were coming in on Saturday, so we didn't even try. We just went to Wal-Mart.
Here is a better picture of the cluster of lights. That is the town of Jerome. We have not been there yet.
