You're a bit further west than where we stay in Mount Vernon just west of Belgrade Lakes. Similar-looking topography perhaps your area is a bit more mountainous. Our lake is at about 400 ft with some 800-900 ft hills surrounding it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was out on Sebago all day today, You can’t script a better day on the pond or lake, First week of August usually never disappoints, Unless something from the tropics mucks it up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, the 5 game series they have to win to advance to the playoffs basically just replaces the end of the regular season for them. No matter who wins it all, there’ll be an asterisk on it. The NHL seems to have a good formula to start play again. MLB on the other hand... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moose Pond has Shawnee Peak (aka Pleasant Mountain) located at the northern end. It is a pretty spot. My cousin went first as a camper and then as a counselor to a boys camp - Winona - for years.

I think it was two years ago when we were here right after the tornado hit the northern part of the lake at the 302 causeway. You could see the tree damage driving over it.

I think he fell asleep before his head fully hit the pillow...his normal bedtime is like 745-8. The kid is a fish though. He’s been on the beach and in the water since 830am. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah not sure exact temps but in the shallow area near the dock it has to be at least high 70s. It’s definitely cooler in the deeper area near the channel.

Keeps going up. 7 day average up to 2.2% Yeah we are headed in the wrong direction albeit slowly. The average age of cases is dropping which tells me it's the younger adults getting sick. The upward trend in hospitalizations worries the most however, more intubations also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday with a straight south wind around 10mph there were 2-3' rollers. Not fun in an under-powered 16' boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
