The Fourth - our Independence Day - falls midweek this year. This hinders many people from making it a long weekend.  Here's a suggestion for a celebration to attend -

 

Genoa Nevada 4th of July Celebration

 

What are some of the cool celebrations you may be attending?

Marked Canada Day today with grilled bratwurst, potato salad, Moosehead beer and watermelon.  Probably not really traditional but tasty.

Doesn't qualify as cool but I'll be working a trail project on the PCT with the Backcountry Horsemen out of Red's Meadow July 3-8. Won't be any fireworks but there'll be good eating!!

 

Happy 4th everybody - honk if you see me heading down 395 early tomorrow morning!!

 Hey Ronin I saw those work days on the PCT schedule.. You should have fun, and car camping to boot. Thank goodness for the Back-country Horsemen as they carry tools for us on the Tahoe Rim Trail.  June 18 they carried tools, chainsaw and grip hoist to Star Lake for three day backpack work trip.  THANKFUL we did not have to carry it! I did burn up 5 tanks of fuel....  Enjoy your adventure.

We'll be celebrating in our backyard- burgers and potato salad for sure. Predicted thunderstorms should provide some good fireworks. :)

I've been trying to get this project on my schedule for years for the reasons you gave plus I've heard they have a great camp chef. Sounds like you had a great time at Star Lake. Worked a TRT realignment at Echo Summit last year ( or was it 2 yrs? ). Maybe you were there? Will be working one of the trail realignment hitches  at Sierra Buttes in late August. Worked this project 3-4 years ago and had to carry all of our tools in about 3 miles. Thankfully we cached them and didn't have to carry them from base camp each day.

ski are you attending?

 

Negative. We did a quick trip to drop off some of Julie's Dad's special items for his grandson and then visited friends at their new place in the Bitterroot Valley.

 

I have numerous friends who have played music at the Genoa event over the years.

My family ends up in Stanley Idaho on that day for the past four years. We spend some time camping,biking fishing hiking never gets old ( just us). It’s a participatory event .... we have upped our game each year .......more water balloons and super squirters rafting style! First year we were just victims and laughed a lot! It’s small and quaint but fun.and the area has given us so much in differt ways!
