Where are you going to shoot for July 4th?

[Marv800]

I dunno about all you folks, but I am so ready for the long weekend. I'm heading out to the Colorado mountains near Crested Butte and Rocky Mountain National forest to shoot some rocks and stuff.

Happy to get out of this blasted heat, and give my camera a few thousand actuations.

Where are all you fools going?!?!?!

[CaptainTom]

Fort Worth Boat Club.

Same place I've gone for years. great fireworks, safe, convenient.

[prncfarquad]

Cedar Creek Lake. Pinnacle subdivision is having its annual air show / fireworks. 23 Aircraft this year from what I understand. Last year they had the WWII battle + many other planes. My brothers house is 100 ft from the base of operations for the show...WOOO HOOO. Lots-O-Pictures

dang marv just noticed it was you...This lake would probably be to far away for ya.

I spent a total of 9 years in the Albuquerque area; my family moved there in 1981. I graduated from high school and junior college in Albuquerque. My Mom and step-Dad moved from Albuquerque to Deming last year. I moved to Texas in 1994, but I've often visited since then. I've seen a lot more of New Mexico since I moved to Texas than I ever did when I lived there.

haven't decided. Don't want to fight the crowds at Busch Gardens, Town Pointe Park in downtown Norfolk is supposed to have a big show but it has been closed for a year and reopens tomorrow. Va beach traffic is horrendous on holidays so way I am fighting it.
So the short answer is don't know yet lol.

I lived in Norfolk and Virginia Beach when I was in the Navy. That was when I first decided that all city planners should die. They intentionally caused those traffic jams. When I found a way around the jams, they put down concrete barriers to prevent use of that route. They had 7 lanes of traffic in one direction (5 in the other) narrow down to a 2-lane bridge, and that was the only way to get from Virginia Beach to Norfolk.

Haha Richard, I completely agree with you.
DH and I have agreed we will not retire here, I truely despise this place mainly because of traffic. Crappy commands don't help lol but traffic is #1. That was one plus in Corpus, for the amount of people it could get bad but nothing like here.
I would rather drive in DC or LA than here.

[Bruce M. Morris]

And after most of 15 yrs there, I htink that the original roads in Norfolk were laid out by Cattle.

Breezy, it will be crowded but if you havent done it, 4th of July at Colonial Williamsburg is really a treat.. lots of photos of cannon fire and the Continental troops marching on the green.

[jeffro20]

Destin, Florida......but sure dreading the drive.

[Breezy]

Thanks Bruce, forgot about it.
I really wanted to go to DC but I have an apt on the 3rd and dh has duty on the 5th, not driving up for the day lol.

[Tom]

Getting married downtown, then flying to Sweden.

Not gonna be posting what I'll be shooting on the 4th. :Grin:
