I believe your guys freezing after swimming in the heat but I remain puzzled because I've swam often at the Furnace Creek - Oasis pool when well over 100 degrees during the day and only felt refreshed exiting the pool. I don't recall feeling cold or getting goosebumps? Maybe people's physiology varies? 

I'm going to try this as an experiment if I can ever return to DEVA during a heat wave. 

When out and about in temps above 100 degrees and especially with hot gusts blowing I've had great luck wearing a long sleeve white cotton shirt that I keep soaked with a spray bottle every few minutes. This really takes the edge off the heat and I don't feel in danger of desiccating like poor ol' Jean Lemoigne.

I have always assumed Jean Lemoigne died from dehydration along with his donkeys (mules) but it appears I'm mistaken as he is reported to have died from a heart attack?
