“Heat, Gators, and Beautiful Beaches.”
In June 2010, me and the family took a trip to Huntington Beach State Park in South Carolina. The first matter of the trip was how to overcome the heat in our 1972 Mercedes 240D. Though not frigid, a spray bottle and rolling all the windows down met our need for cooler air (remember: evaporation Continue reading
