There is no doubt about it now. We are enjoying summer in the full and most folks are running their air conditioners if they've got them.

Precipitation has been relatively minimal, with only six days in the first twenty-four with any measurable rain. The greatest amount of precipitation was recorded on June 1 at 1.75 inches.

The Village Voice - Historic Lincoln Highway Tour to travel through Ada
This year, the Lincoln Highway turns 100, and Ada will get to see part of the celebration first hand on June 26th.
The Lincoln Highway was the first paved transcontinental highway in the United States, and would eventually pass through 13 states and stretching from New York City to San Francisco. The original goal of the project was simple, yet powerful – build a “coast to coast rock highway” to help American commerce and agriculture.
