My original plan was to go camping off in the middle of nowhere, drink a lot, and spend a week backpacking.

Now, it's a long drive Saturday for some California wheeling on Sunday and Tuesday, long drive out to the Lost Hills in eastern Idaho on Wednesday, then backpack in and spend 3 days camping/hiking, then hop in the H3 and drive back to Portland. Should be about 3k miles total, with plenty of drinking, wheeling, drinking, camping, drinking, and backpacking, in that order...

[evldave]

oh yeah, and about $600 in gas :mad:

[GLBLWARMR]

The in-laws are flying in from NH and we are going to take them down to Pearl harbor and watch the fireworks display from the Arizona Memorial.

[Steve - SanJose]

Plans are not firm for the weekend, but I will watch a large fireworks show from my deck on the 4th.

Happy 4th to all !

OMFG!!!! D and Newb know eachother?????:eek:


Holy Guacamole!!!

[devilsfan]

Sitting by the front window, repeatedly calling the cops on the neighbors. We're under severe drought restrictions and fireworks are banned in city limits, but these idiots set them off every year. First year we were here, they set our house on fire. $2000 fine for illegal possession, I am SO looking forward to that.

You GO GIRL:D

[Aubs]

No fireworks this year, but hopefully I'll get to spend some time out with friends. I was going to the beach, but that's been pushed back to the end of the month.

[HummerNewbie]

OMFG!!!! D and Newb know eachother?????:eek:

Well, as of yesterday we do :p

[H2Blondie]

I'm heading to the lake and then to LoLo's on the 4th for hamburger cook-out where we will wait to get called out because some fool set a grass fire with fireworks (despite the fact that we are under a burn ban and fireworks are outlawed). At fires like that, I wish we could set up at the perimeter of that person's land only protecting his neighbors' property from going up in flames as a result of his ignorance!:rolleyes:

[Boss Hoss]

I bought fireworks the other day the first time since moving to Florida. So im looking at this $75box full of fireworks ask the girl working if it has good one and she says its on of the better ones. Get home only to find out they suck--apparently its illegal in Florida to have fireworks leave the ground and pop. Guess i need to go to bama and get some new ones. So if you want fireworks that sit on the ground and spit out pretty little colors and make little to know noise come to Florida....we have lots of em:mad:

[dеiтайожни]

Aww...but I included Call Fire Dept, and Insurance Agent in that. I'm responsible. ;) :D

[HummerNewbie]

Around here we can't buy them either but I go over to Cocoa and can get all kinds of stuff that goes up in the air :D

LMAO :D

[deserth3]

I forgot I'm off that evening. No fireworks for me. I'm taking the dog for a ride away from the noise. Yup she's afraid of fireworks. Therre's nothing like 50 lbs of shivering dog trying to climb on you to discourage fire works enjoyment.
So we'll take a nice quiet ride in the mountains.

Poor thing I've had to drug her for the last three evenings as it is. Doesn't work completely but at least it takes the edge off. Of course then you have a stoned dog just stairing at you. Kind of funny.

A stoned dog is funnier than a stoned lizard.;)

We are going to a friends for a bbq. :)

I really just want to drink beer and blow stuff up. So I might get a headache at the party and have to head home.;)

It's only truly acceptable once a year, to pass it up would be simply ludicrous.:Dhttp://smilies.vidahost.com/contrib/ed/popcorn.gif

[2-H2's]

Clear Lake dinner cruise & fireworks with family & friends...

Then off to San Diego to meet junior aboard the CVN-72 from their first deployment. :D

[BlueTJCO]

Ok I finally have my plans set...

4wheeling some trails out in the Deckers Area. There is a spot out there where there are small waterfalls and Ice Caves that have formed over the years and I used to go out to them all the time. Now for the past few the roads out there have been closed off and not 1 person on the Colorado4x4.org board believe me that they exist. They have all tried and failed when looking for them...sooooooo, I'm backpacking in with some friends and the dogs and we are going to take some pics and GPS that mother F>>>>>.

Then BBQ and watch the firework show from my balcony.........:)

Have fun everyone...dont get thrown in Jail

I had to drive over the $12 toll Cheapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel and use nearly 1/4 tank of gas just to get some fancy sparklers.:rolleyes: :mad: But I'm going to start planning for next year soon so any of you that live in a place that sell REAL fireworks, let me know. I may have you ship me some cool stuff.:D

H-town driver's think the temperature gauge is the speed limit & liquids equal burn outs...

Anytime you are out this way, give us a shout. The P'gon family is first class in our books:D It looks like the rain may not make it to our parade;)

[dochummer]

BBQ with friends at my house.... :)

[Andy C]

Considering taking the boat out and watching the fireworks from the ocean - still not sure though - being out on the water in the dark with two thousand other drunks running boats may not be such a great idea.

Whatever you all wind up doing have a good one and be safe.

Happy 4th - still not sure what the fuss is about - not been here long enough:D

[KenP]

It's always best sitting on a boat, tied up with the tide going out and the wind crossing them.:eek: :D That's some funny shiznit!!!

[Mrs.ssippi]

CP should be pretending to get sick right about now so she can come home and blow some sh!t up! I sure hope we get a full report with pictures! :D :D

Early report:

[Mrs.ssippi]

I really did not think she would go that far.... that had to hurt. Do they make an ointment for that? :D

[h2co-pilot]

**coughcoughfartsniffle** I'm home!:D:D

I didn't get anything good. No M80's or anything really fun.:(

I need to find the camera.

[Donkey_Kong]

You should know.

[westhillsat]

Going to be lighting some artillery shells tonight.
Got some stuff on the Blackfoot Reservation on the way back from the cabin.

One box has 156 tubes and the lady said it lasts around five minutes, it was just under 60 bucks. Never saw anything like it before. It's called War Games, gonna have to scope out the neighbors houses and make sure the tubes are at a high enough angle to go over the roofs :mad: :D Has warnings on two sides "this side toward crowd" :D has a primary fuse and secondary fuse...

Only thing is we are on a hill below the airport and the city is going to have a manned roadblock above us to keep people from parking up on top and watching the firework shows from up there.
Hope the box is legal or the coppers will know where I am :mad:

The artillery shell from the reservation have 12 shells and each one has at least 3 breaks, should be a good show.:D

[DDWH]

:D

[jfox]

um, did y'all see this at your 4th of July celebration also??:D

[PARAGON]

you be careful west , we better not have to come up there to bail you out of jail ;-)

you got any plans for the middle of aug. ?? :-}

[Scouts Out]

I woke up early to make sure I could catch some of my friends still in Iraq on line so I could wish them a happy 4th and offer them another package of what ever they want. After that we watched three fireworks displays off in the distance from our front porch. Once the fire works were over, we found my daughters dog stuck under her bed and lifted it off her so she could get out. She hates fireworks and guns.

[westhillsat]

You could bring Sewie up here with his winch and hook on to one of those windows at the local pokey. :D It's on the other side of the airport ;)

Is that the next Moab trip?? I'd like to, but the temp is going to be pretty toasty there :eek: I think about you all going to Moab in Aug. :)

[westhillsat]

Time to go out and make some noise :D :eek:

[h2co-pilot]

I know Drty is.;)

[DRTYFN]

BURNOUT!!!!!:D;)

[Mrs.ssippi]

I really thought there would be alot of "drunk posts" tonight, i guess it is still early. ;) Just waiting and watching. The husband and kids are asleep. It is all stormin' and rainin' here so no fireworks tonight. Very slow 4th this year. :( Maybe I'll just go to bed.

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY. Maybe next year there will be NO RAIN.

[RIC-H0]

No drinking tonite...Rode the bike out to Colonial Williamsburg to watch the Fireworks display out there.
It was nice, but doesn't hold a match to the ones in Texas;)
The revolutionary era costumes, and old towns are pretty cool, and the good looking moms were out struttin' thier stuff too!!:eek::D
Hope everyone had a fun and Safe 4th!!!

[westhillsat]

All fireworks lit and destroyed :D

The neighbors liked the 156 shot War Games, discovered after it was done that the secondary fuse was only for if the primary didn't start the thing a going :)
