In 100 deg. temperatures I usually go at first light or late in the evening when temperatures have begun to cool. Thanks for the word of caution.
One concern we have in this part of Idaho is bites from mosquitoes that may be carrying the West Nile Virus. Is that a concern yet in Medford and Ashland?
