Crouch is within Garden Valley. Crouch is incorporated, Garden Valley isn't, but has the Post Office. There was a movement a few years ago to change the name from Crouch to Garden Valley, but failed to get enough votes. GV has a gas station, convenience store, but Crouch has 3 restaurants, 1 market, 1 hardware store, 2 bar & grills, 2 coffee shops, a non ethanol gas station, 2 barber/salons, an ice cream shop, and a few private artist shops. We have a city park with a veterans appreciation wall and the Middle Fork of the Payette River runs through it. If you do a Google on my address, 15 Village Lane, Garden Valley, Idaho 83622, you will see that our log home is 4 miles from Crouch.

It truly is beautiful country, and an hour from Boise. We have a doctor and clinic, plus Life Flight is faster to the Boise hospitals than most big cities. An hour 30 to the airport and one of the fastest growing cities in America, not to mention the blue Smurf Turf at Boise State. Idaho has the largest Wilderness area in the lower 48 with the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness that takes all of central Idaho. An amazing area. Sorry for the soapbox. I have been so fortunate to experience most of this state's exceptional experience.

What is the temperature up there?
It is 105 here and 82% humidity.
I had to come in just now. Too hot to do anything manual outside.

Right now it's overcast and 78 with 13% humidity. For the next week it's supposed to be 78-82. Average for us this time of year is 82 and 85 in Boise. We are usually 2-3 degrees cooler than Boise, but much cooler at night. 51 this morning.

I’m jealous!!!
It has gone to 107 on my thermometer.
When I came in, I took a cold shower and just finished off a half gallon of ice tea.
Still thirsty.
PS. It never got below 80 last night.

When I was at Louisiana Tech in the mid 1960's, no AC in my Land Rover. I took the windows off the 2 front doors and that was it. Hot and humid and tough on dates, but made it through until 1968 when I bought my first 4X4 pickup, still no AC. Got my 1st pickup with AC in 1975.

We moved to Tucson in 1975, No A/C at home. 95 at night, no breezes. Dry heat....just like the inside of an oven.

Even when it does rain in Arizona, it's a dry rain. We lived in Marana just North of Tucson for over a year. Enjoyed our time there, but not without AC.

Well, we were ALL a lot younger in those days and could handle the heat a lot better. (or at least I could)
I remember saying once that I would rather for it to be 100 than 40. No more!!!
I worked construction all Summer every Summer during High School and College and reported for 2 a days after that.
Growing up, we had an attic fan but no AC. I didn’t live in AC until 1984 and my ‘88 F150 4x4 was my first vehicle with AC.

I remember summers & milking 100 Holsteins x2 daily, and growing everything it took to feed them year round. Milking was hot but not nearly as hot as the 6000 bale hay loft....in the afternoon....in July. It's big enough that we still have 2 basketball goals installed & many, many games played in it after hay fed out. I learned early to ALWAYS volunteer to learn any/everything that involved driving a tractor. Worked earlier & later many days but anything beat stacking hay in that loft under the tin roof. Still no ac in the farmhouse and not sure how my brothers & I survived Summer's together in the "boy's room." Box fans helped a little, I guess. And yeah, heat must not have been quite as hot "back then."

51 this morning but supposed to be in the mid 90's Wednesday. Still, since we live at the base of Garden Mountain, we get a cool breeze every night. Humidity is 13%.
