Duke1497 · 02-14-2012, 05:30 PM

Anyone ever been?

Whats there to do?

I'm gonna hang out there for a couple of weeks there this summer.

Freakin love California, went to San Diego last year and had a blast.

sppunk · 02-14-2012, 05:39 PM

Who are you going / staying with for the trip?

sppunk · 02-14-2012, 05:44 PM

Because there's not tons to do unless you like playing golf and sweating gallons. There's a cool airplane museum, an OK art museum. A tram up to the hills and canyons around for hikes.

But it's really, really hot in the summer of course so find a pool and stay there.

Duke1497 · 02-14-2012, 05:51 PM

Gonna go with my grandfather and his wife.

They live out in las Vegas, so I'm flying out there and hanging out there for a while before CA

Love Las Vegas too, went one Christmas and had tons of fun

We have family in San Diego, so we may go there too

I hope we do, I want to get some surfing in

Duke1497 · 02-14-2012, 06:30 PM

I've heard that palm springs weather is like vegas weather

sppunk · 02-14-2012, 06:44 PM

Average highs:

June - 104
July - 108
August - 107

It regularly hits 115.

Duke1497 · 02-14-2012, 06:55 PM

Meh, it's like that where I live, so not very different.

sppunk · 02-14-2012, 06:59 PM

You live in Missouri, what the fuck are you talking about? It gets hot, but you get probably less than 5 days a year above 100.

Duke1497 · 02-14-2012, 07:01 PM

I don't live in MO anymore (thank god), was born there and moved

I remember it got REALLY hot in STL a few times

sppunk · 02-14-2012, 07:05 PM

But you're posting from the St Louis area now ... ? So where do you live?

Duke1497 · 02-14-2012, 07:16 PM

I live in Nebraska, pretty near MO

I don't know why it says I'm in STL, must be a glitch

That and I got my laptop on a trip to STL

sppunk · 02-14-2012, 07:21 PM

So you're comparing heat in Palm Sprungs to Nebraska.

Might as well compare Houston summers to Portland, Oregon's.

Duke1497 · 02-14-2012, 07:24 PM

Hot to me, at least.

I had a heat stroke when I was younger, so have a low heat tolerance

What sucks is that I sunburn pretty easily. I'm of Nordic, Sicilian, German, and Apache/Yaqui descent, but I take after my very Nordic father, so with my fair skin, I'm either burnt or fried

sppunk · 02-14-2012, 07:26 PM

Good luck spending time outside in A FUCKNG DESERT.

what i don't even

Duke1497 · 02-14-2012, 07:55 PM

Break out the sunscreen, lol

Idk, it feels pretty hot to me, hence the comparison

SuckSuckStyle · 02-14-2012, 08:05 PM

desert hot isnt like midwest hot.

it's dry as a bone. and just cus the sun goes down doesnt mean the temperature will. 100 degrees at midnight isnt unheard of.

go to san diego. palm springs is kind of a drag.

Duke1497 · 02-14-2012, 08:12 PM

Honestly, I prefer bone dry heat than the damn humidity I've experienced

Kills my joints

SuckSuckStyle · 02-14-2012, 08:15 PM

yeah i don't mind it either, actually. I hate east coast summers but i loved living in Vegas even on 116 degree days wearing sleeves and a tie.

SuckSuckStyle · 02-14-2012, 08:16 PM

but even if you're cool with the heat....palm springs is still kinda a drag. i do suggest trying to stick to vegas or SD.

the last time i was there was to see zwan lol

Duke1497 · 02-14-2012, 08:20 PM

Yeah probably

I remember that heat stroke I had too, it sucked

I was living in STL at the time (left at age 9, or 10, I don't remember)

Was at an amusement park, and I passed out for an hour or so.

Then I woke up and was exhausted, disoriented, and on the verge of vomiting

Had a heat rash too

SuckSuckStyle · 02-14-2012, 08:26 PM

shit dude. what were you doing?

i remember almost getting one once in little league. i was the catcher so i had to wear all the pads and face mask and it was fucking hot but they pulled me out and gave me water before i got too bad.

sppunk · 02-14-2012, 08:49 PM

The Texan in me laughs at you all complaining about heat and humidity. People in the NE don't know humidity in the heat.

Trotskilicious · 02-14-2012, 09:04 PM

this thread has a lot of buttholes in it

It was well over 100 degrees, and I was just hanging around the park.

But boy was I sick the next few days

yeah i'm not a fan. I'm sure Texas is worse. I can deal with dry heat but humidity drives me nuts.

Trotskilicious · 02-15-2012, 10:34 AM

slunken · 02-15-2012, 10:37 AM
