As amusing as it is watching east coasters try to drink enough water in Vegas, it is even more amusing watching east coasters and California coastal people up here at 6,000’ ASL in July, when there is a blowtorch wind blowing through here and the relative humidity is down to 5%.
Here’s a clue for folks who have never been in the high deserts of the west: that headache you feel 12 hours after you got here?
That’s dehydration. Too many people attribute it exclusively to altitude, but it isn’t: most people find that if they’d only drink a couple pints of water in the space of an hour before bed, the headaches magically “go away.”
