First weekend is too hot, too many people. We usually do a day trip 2nd or 3rd weekend to celebrate our anniversary. Not that it's much better.... We won't camp before the beginning of November. Too hot for us. But if we wait too long we run the risk of it getting too cold. My hubby is very sensitive to heat and cold due to meds so it's always tricky for us deciding when to go.
I've done Opening but it's usually too damn HOT, in garb or mundanes. Sweat your nether regions off...can't sleep...
AHE always seems to be a crap shoot. One weekend, about six years ago, I got there Thursday morning and it wasn't too bad. By 3:00pm, when Lady Jess got there, it was up to around 91...then a front moved through and by 7:00am, the next morning, it was 45 with some misting drizzle. That was the last year Laird Nasty used a tent. Froze his weedpuller off all weekend.
I'll take that kind of weather, just minus the storms that come with it. I remember the "Year Without Fires" it had rained just before AHE but not enough to allow fire pits. You want to talk about a chilly weekend...
