There is one place I think is called Thermal,CA that is right in the middle of the Mojave desert which has the highest temps in the US. It is a big foreign tourist destination. Periodically I read about some idiot that dies out there because they ignore the warnings. It gets so hot that your tires can melt. From what I understand, there is a hotel out there where the employees also live because it is too far away to commute and too hot.
In the summertime, you can still freeze your backside off in Carmel. It is cold and damp. We went up there one August for the Pebble Beach car show and I thought I would freeze to death. We had the fireplace and heater going in our cabin. Go inland 10 miles and it is sunny, dry and hot.

I have 8 bites on my body, all on my thighs, groin, backside. I can't go out onto the dirt in the back yard. Something eats me alive. I think I have finally found out what it is: chiggers.
