I've done that! lol, Just never go during this time of the year. I read today that the temps were over 115 degrees in Phoenix.
When I was there, the temps hit a high of 125 degrees, and the airport had to stop all flights because the rubber tires on the airplanes were melting on the runway.
Colorado is a good place for gold panning too. :)

We do get 100+ in Texas but with 100% humidity. My son panned in 4 corners and brought me about $100 worth of tiny nuggets of gold.
