Another concern is the weather.  The Saturday forecast calls for it to get 
up to 118 Degrees Fahrenheit here in Laughlin, Nevada.  The suspected 
strewn-field is only a couple hours drive south from here so it will 
probably be hot.  I have a racecar driver's cooling vest that has been 
adapted to field use that circulates iced water through tubes.  The battery 
last eight hours but the ice cartridges only last about four hours so 
hunting time is very limited in this kind of heat.

Be Careful!  People, who are not acclimatized to the heat,  have been found 
dead out here by simply changing a flat tire.
