The Best Week

July 17th through 23rd, 2017

Lake Lucerne

The water temperature is as warm as it gets. Extremely clear, too (this image was captured under about 8 feet of lake).

The shoreline and forest floor are as green as it gets. The last few months of wet weather has kept the stress from the trees so don't expect to see any early splashes of autumnal colors.

The ski show at Water's Edge continues to impress. When the acts are pulled off flawlessly it's great, but even the crashes are pretty cool.

How long can this go on? We've already had enough fantastic weather to ensure that this Summer is listed with the greats. Another week or four and this could be the best ever. So get up here and become a part of history.
