The Hobo Camp Fire Is going well #VII.. Stop In!!!

[ezdays]

Don - on windy days, don't park under Palo Verde trees, Chilean Mesquite, or Eucalyptus. Actually, I think the obsession with finding the one shady spot is just a bad idea. Even on non windy days, the Mesquites drip sap on your car, and let's not talk about the bird crap.

Yup, I try to avoid parking under any tree. It's bad enough what the birds do when they're just flying by, never mind when they're parked. :cry: The inside of your car is going to be just as hot regardless of any shade. We love trees, but had two large ones cut down the past few years because they were too big and too close to the house. One Willow Acacia was so close that even if it fell away from the house, the root system would have pulled up the slab. Since our slab is post-stressed and is basically one unit, I could see the whole front of our house sticking up about two foot higher than the back...
