When It's Hot
N
ebraska's hottest month, July is too often
when many of even the most die-hard
outdoor enthusiasts head for the AC and
binge watch their favorite TV episodes. But
there is a sense of strange accomplishment
that comes when spending a day with sweat
dripping off of your face, where any shade
is good shade and any sort of assistance
from the Great Plains wind is quite often the
heat's best medicine.

T
his is summer at its best. And while
there's nothing better than lying on the
couch after a long day in the sweltering heat,
it takes being in that heat in the first place to
make that late-day drink that much sweeter.
Here are a few activities to get you there.
