Hey, that must have been Me, Glory, Tom, and Jenny that joined you 
that night.  It was pretty bastard hot that day on the walk to the cattle
gate where we found your tent. I remember being amazed that I could find
no shade at all in the hills until about 4 in the afternoon, when the 
sun got low for the hills to cast just a bit of a shadow. Tom was 
hidden next to a rock, just past which I found Jenny pressed up against a 
bush.  I was eventually able to lean against a 50 degree slope in the 
shade for a little rest.
