The group looked at the three foot hole they had all dug. Louis was visibly sweating more than everyone else and Laura had already left to get water again. She was having a much harder time in the heat and the entire group had already internally vowed to have water and a snack on them at all times. There were remedies to help her calorie count get higher by eating special foods. But there was nothing that would help her stay hydrated longer other than being diligent in drinking water.
"Alright. So now we have a hole."
"Is that really all you wanted?" Art was tired and hot and the fact that Jackson had just stated the obvious had triggered his annoyed response.
"We have a hole. The top layer of sand is very hot. The bottom layer of sand was much cooler, right? That's because there is water trying to evaporate from underground. Now we take Louis's rubber bandages that he hasn't been wearing because of his training, and set them up."
