As you can see, the logger worked just fine today with the original SD Card. I'm beginning to think it's an intermittent break in the cable connecting the logger to the main board. This is a cable I made and will probable just make a new one.

After yesterday's temperature and looking at the weather for today, we decided to get a little earlier start to see if we can beat the late afternoon heat. This seemed to work - to a point. We did manage to stay below 100 (just barely) and got in around 2:30 with the time zone change. We spent the entire day on I 84 and the skies were pretty hazy all day. At one point we saw a sign warning about a wild fire ahead and we smelled the fire but never actually saw anything.

We are at a Holiday Inn Express in Pendleton tonight and the WiFi is really sketchy. These days there's just no excuse for bad WiFi, especially for a hotel charging upwards of $200 a night. Maybe I'll leave a review when we leave tomorrow.

We head for home tomorrow morning. I will definitely turn on the air conditioning before we get home tomorrow afternoon. I checked and the temperature in our bedroom is 87 degrees - way too hot for sleeping.
