Yesterday the outer world at my North Texas location got heated to well over 100 degrees, as measured by the Fahrenheit method.
Overnight, a cold front blew in, knocking the low for last night into the low 70s, again as measured by the Fahrenheit method.
So, with today's high temperature forecast to be in the low 90s, I thought this last day of the 2025 version of July might be a mighty fine time to get my daily endorphin fix by nature communing on the trail through the Wichita Bluffs Nature Area.
Well.
I thought wrong.
Not much of a wind was blowing, til I hit the highest point on the Bluffs, which is where I took the photo documentation, looking east across the Wichita River at the stunning skyline of beautiful downtown Wichita Falls.
Whilst under the shade of the pavilion located at the Wichita Bluffs Nature Area high point, I checked the temperature via my phone's weather app.
90 degrees.
Halfway back to my starting point, also known as the parking lot where my air-conditioned motorized transport was located, I started getting real HOT, turning into a sweaty mess. I took off my shirt, which helped a little, but not much.
Methinks today marks the last time I will be doing any mountainous bluff hiking til the weather starts being more reasonably cool...
