Driftless Tribe #0029

Weekly Breakdown

☀️ Summer is here ☀️

Hey all, Adam here with another Driftless update.

It sure heated up fast! This week looks no different, with highs nearing 90 on both Saturday and Sunday. These hot, humid days tend to fly by, so I’m doing my best to make the most of them.

I’ll be getting out early this weekend for a bike ride, checking out a farmers market (are the local cantaloupes ready yet??), and then heading to Devil’s Lake to cool off by the beach. Any cold water will do. Just embracing Long June while it lasts (see edition #0026 if you missed the explanation).

We’ve got a stretch of great weather and a stacked list of events this week - so get outside & soak up some sun. I hope to see you out there.

Let’s get into the newsletter.
