This is not cool.
29 of the last 31 days have had temperatures above 100 degrees at #WichitaFalls. Today will be another one. Be careful and take care of yourself today.

Highlight of this morning’s tour of Castillo San Cristóbal: seeing one of the *giant* cisterns that, together with four others, could hold 900,000 gallons of water. Many thanks to @SanJuanNPS for the tour!
