June 18: Today was forecasting for rain (off and on), and temps in the low 60’s, when the day before was forecasting only a cloudy day. Despite the gloomy forecast, a trip to Jasper Beach in Machiasport, ME, followed by a re-visit to Reversing Falls Park in Pembroke, ME was the order of the day. The rain held off (only a few sprinkles here and there), allowing a joyous time outdoors along the Bold Coast of Maine.
