Another option is to log onto the Weather Channel's website shortly before departure. They'll give a rough idea of what to expect for the following week. Zip code for Chino Valley (just South of Gunsite) is 86323.

One lube that doesn't seem to burn off very easily and in my experience has worked very good is plain old ATF fluid. When you think what kind of temp your transmission gets up to, makes sense. I've also experimented with some of the new synthetic oils for cars. Three bucks a quart instead of 5-6 bucks for a small bottle. Doesn't say "gun lube" on the bottle, but works damn well.
