I fill up my water reserves (there's no water at Tecopa Hot Springs Campground) and buy a couple of cold Sobé grapefruit drinks to consume immediately.

And beer for a later in the evening at Tecopa Hot Springs, though it probably won't be very cold by the time I get to drink it.

The sun is starting to go down, and the thermometer here shows that the temperature has finally dipped below 100 degrees F. I can really feel the "cool" breeze in the air.
