Title: Temps at Big Scrub.
Post by: Mars on July 24, 2005, 11:07:38 PM
Hello all.
 I've never been to BS in the summer. So I need to know how hot is it at night.
 I have a small TH but I know you have to shut down the gen set at 10PM. Will I end up sleeping outside?
Thanks

in my experience, the woods up there cool down quite a bit at night,,,,,you may be at 95 during the day but at night after about 10pm it gets down near 75.

I have never camped at BS though.

 I checked the local weather whitch states "feels like 87" at midnight.
I know it should be cooler in the woods. I was hoping to get more feedback from the members. Thanks for being the first.
 The wife is in hot flash mode.....might have to kill her to get some sleep ;D

I would say that it feels like more about 80 than 87

You can ride year round, we don't start riding till about 10:00am and come in about 4:00pm to avoid getting shot at.

that's pretty much my policy during hunting season.

A ranger actually made sense one time when they told me that hunters pay to be able to use the forest about two months out of the year only to be disturbed by people on OHV's who don't pay to use the forest and have access all year round.

Plus, I used to hunt, so I give hunters a wide berth in the forest.
