Last Chair:
If you didn’t have a calendar, you would think it was a week in mid September. What a gorgous week to be in the Maine mountains. Sun was out, temps were mild, and the fall-like weather was creeping in to let us know that it’s coming. Good thing is that it’s only July and we still have plenty of summer-weather left.
Weather:
Temps are rising throughout the weekend, perfect for the Tough Mountain Challenge on Saturday and the Cheap Trick concert on Sunday. Conditions are looking great all weekend long with sunny skies for most of the day.
| Day: | Friday: | Saturday: | Sunday: |
| High: | 72°  | 77°  | 78° |
| Low: | 60° | 54° | 59° |
See ya outside!
