By 9h, it's too hot in the tent, and I have no choice but to get up and start today's hike to Keystone Spring

It's hot inside my tent and I've opened "the lid" to get more air inside without bringing in flies, or having the hot sun shine on me. I sweat a bit while eating breakfast (hard to swallow) and drinking two cups of cold coffee.
