Holy fuck. Just a heads up; your state should not be inhabited during the summer months by rational humans. This is absolutely brutal.
Carry on.
Carry on.

I will give this God forsaken state this much: all of the roads Ive driven so far have been fantastic.Who wrote: ↑Fri Jun 28, 2019 1:09 amwhat colour are those roads?WestTexasCrude wrote: ↑Fri Jun 28, 2019 1:08 am He seemed to be making a point and suddenly went to Golden Corral.

The parts of I-4 I've driven to and from the various parks have been wonderful. Quite the change from the pot holes of Michigan.QillerDaemon wrote: ↑Fri Jun 28, 2019 3:48 amSo you haven't been on I-4 thru downtown yet, have you...
The heat: meh, you get used to it. By learning to stay indoors as much as possible.
I wouldn't let that stop you.
that's part of the beauty of not having freezing temeratures. The roads hold up much better. Freezing moisture and cheap roads = potholes.CHEEZY17 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 28, 2019 7:45 pmThe parts of I-4 I've driven to and from the various parks have been wonderful.

One difference, though, Biker, speaking as both a Florida resident and someone raised on the Texas Gulf coast, is that it really isn't the temperature but the humidity that causes the suffering. Here in Florida, it's always pretty much humid, so much water in the air, both in the summer and in the winter. In Texas, there are cold fronts moving vast quantities of dry air down from Canada during winter, so that it dries up a bit, causing less of a steady year-round heat. We don't get those kinds of cold fronts in Florida, so we can get some pretty hot days even in Februrary. I presume that's one reason that Arizona and New Mexico are habitable even with the heat, as it's a dry heat, not the wet heat of Florida.
If you stay around the parks, you're not getting far enough north (actually east) on I-4 to get to the real construction going on. I live about 5 miles north of Universal, and it's all a part of our daily life around the actual city of Orlando and its surrounding area. The tourist area is not yet really a part of that. I shudder for the poor tourists driving around when it does get to that area.CHEEZY17 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 28, 2019 7:45 pmThe parts of I-4 I've driven to and from the various parks have been wonderful.

I thought heat didn’t bother you wet backsBiker wrote: ↑Fri Jun 28, 2019 9:01 pmTrue, but we get the humidity in Texas too, and its often with temps 100 and aboveQillerDaemon wrote: ↑Fri Jun 28, 2019 8:42 pmOne difference, though, Biker, speaking as both a Florida resident and someone raised on the Texas Gulf coast, is that it really isn't the temperature but the humidity that causes the suffering.

I made the mistake of being in the Port Lavaca/Victoria area for most of an August. It's hard to believe it can get worse than that.Biker wrote: ↑Fri Jun 28, 2019 9:01 pmTrue, but we get the humidity in Texas too, and its often with temps 100 and aboveQillerDaemon wrote: ↑Fri Jun 28, 2019 8:42 pmOne difference, though, Biker, speaking as both a Florida resident and someone raised on the Texas Gulf coast, is that it really isn't the temperature but the humidity that causes the suffering.
