4th of July 2015

[HB Vic]

So what are your plans for the 4th?

Very good possibility I'll be in Parker. This cruise thing goes until next Thursday. Assuming we make it back safely, head to the casa, pack, and head directly for the river.

I started taking vitamins yesterday, so I'm hoping they kick in by then, I think I may need the extra energy lol.

Parker should be nice. Nice and quiet :shock:

Im coming back from Cancun on the 4th.
River should be fun. I always loved big weekends. Used to have an annual Memorial trip to Havasu with the guys....Man I miss those days lol

I have a retired neighbor that is about 1/2 nuts.
He enjoys putting on a fireworks show that shames most any town around our area.
Awesome that we can load the 'toon up and watch from the lake.
Been a favorite for probably 10 years now.
Everyone always loves it.
Gets bigger and more extravagant all the time.
About a dozen helpers lighting stuff off now.

I will be a rebel rouser and fire rockets where I'm not supposed to. [emoji1]

[HB Vic]

I think fireworks have been recently banned from our park [emoji16]

Unfortunately working. But since I'm next door to the Queen Mary, I'll go up on a crane and watch their show.

[boatnam1]

One of those things the group comes up with after a day of too many drinks sitting around the fire lol.

Happy 4th

[HB Vic]

Happy 4th of July everyone. Be safe and enjoy this date, the date the United States declared its independence over foreign rule in 1776.

Without getting too political, it seems we've lost a little of that independence now.

Maybe our leaders need to go back in time and try to remember why we did what we did way back in 1776.

That's awesome! I can't get jack to jump in off a boat or a dock or the ledge of a pool but he will walk in and swim in the water all day long as long as there is beach entrance. Even in our pool, he goes to the stairs to get in lol

Gotta say the 4th at the river, this year, had to be the busiest year I can ever remember. Riverland was absolutely packed, wall to wall, assholes and elbows all weekend. Not a boat parking spot to be had anywhere.

Pretty much, from what I saw, all the restaurants and bars seemed to have done well. We hung out at the Pirate for awhile and Sundance. Sundance was a little slow Saturday am, but it got pretty busy a little later in the day.

I was not on my boat, so I didn't really notice anything to crazy on the water. I did see a couple of my buddies in their 26's and they seemed to be okay as far as the water goes. Too busy for my tastes and like a washing machines at times.

So between Tube Float and The 4th, it seems to be things are ramping up a bit. I saw a couple new boats being towed out and quite a few boats on the water I've never seen before. Hopefully this means things, in the boating world, are improving.

All-in-all, great 4th weekend!! Hope everyone got through it ok and had a good time. I know I did :D

[sangermike]

I learned to water ski on the 4th of july 50+ years ago at hansen dam in sylmar. tow boat was a cracker box with a t bird motor. Is there even a lake there now or has all that changed.
