What are your plans?

Fireworks?

Booze?

Camping?

All of the above?

I'm not sure what we're going to do, I'm still getting over this cold that kept me from goin to the Zion Bogleyfest.

Thought about taking the boat out for the first time this year - along with the whole state of Utah. Not sure though.

Tripping around the book cliffs in Colorado.
Staying with friends in Debeque. Quiet, no fireworks.

Last time we went there this time of year, we got covered in ticks. Make sure to spray your clothes with repellent if you're in the sagebrush.

PS, if in Debeque at this time of year, I would recommend Battlement Mesa over Book Cliffs (regardless of activity-hiking, OHV, etc) but either is nice.

================================================== =====


What are your plans?

Same thing I do every year. Climb mountains.

[BruteForce]

Drove up today to scout camping locations on Flaming Gorge. We'll be up there somewhere near Lucerne.

[RugerShooter]

Going to Lava to Camp w/the family. I am sure there will be drinking & fireworks involved to.

Be sure to tube the river.

Keeping the base safe from the riff raff the long weekend is a work week i am sure there will be a bunch of drunks on base also.

[Wasatch Rebel]

Driving to my old deer hunting camp up Manti Canyon to show my son a tree that had been carved in many years ago by my dad. I don't like to carve up quakies, but a couple of years ago I added dad's death date into the tree he'd already marked and my son was on his mission and wanted to see it when he got back--not just the tree, but the place.

I'm going to be running the East Millcreek 5k early in the morning as well, and then after the trip to Manti, we'll probably cook some burgers and what not on the grill and try to catch some fireworks somewhere. Or maybe not the fireworks. It depends on if we want to fight the traffic.

Hmmm...those were my plans as well. Maybe we'll bump into each other

We'll be HQ'd in Debeque up Roan Creek.
If you see a Silver Polaris RZR S with too many HIDs similar to the one in my Avatar and a couple of ATVs thats likely us.

I'll keep an eye out for your Jeep.

[accadacca]

I'll be boating on Bear Lake and riding my dirt bike in the mountains above Bear Lake. It is going to be a short week again for me. Monday through Wednesday at work this week with this past week being a 4 day week and a trip to Southern Utah for Bogletfest. I love the summer. :five:

Actually... it's not the ticks that are bad, it's the gnats. They're crazy right now. I live in Grand Junction, believe me, I know. Just don't stop moving. If you stop, you'll get covered. They drive me crazy, bitting my ears and eyes. If you go higher, like Battlement Mesa or Grand Mesa, the problem is mosquitos.

I'll probably be out by DeBeque too, but I'll be in the caves! It's much cooler.

[Iceaxe]

Hmmm..... I thinking........

Friday drive up to Wyoming and bet on the ponies during the day.... on the way home stock the truck up with good beer and buy the kids a giant box of illegal fireworks....... I'm an awesome dad......

Saturday Night head over to Rocky Mountain Raceway and watch the Supermodifeds......

Sunday maybe go waterskiing....

:popcorn:

[DOSS]

Having a small BBQ (thinking a rotisserie turkey), drinking, lighting fireworks

[CrazyFinn]

No camping or fireworks so I suspect it will be booze. :hail2thechief:

[LOAH]

Same thing we do every year, Pinky:

Try and take over the world.

Tell me about the Caves? I know nothing of them.

[CaverMC]

What do you want to know. There's lots of dirt/claystone caves around DeBeque. They're not the pretty limestone caves but they're fun to explore. Most are small around 300ft or so. There's a bigger one near Rulison that's over 1,000ft. I've been to a few west of DeBeque near South Shale Ridge, some by Collbran, some by Mesa. They're all over. If you seen any while you're out here, or if you want to go explore some, let me know!

How can you light fireworks without booze.... :ne_nau:

Mmmmmm, camping and shroomers. :haha:

Due to unforseen repairs sucking money, our original plans were scrapped due to lack of funds.
My sons birthday however is on the fourth.
so no booze, I will be having a brithday party for a six year old, course I do not drink anymore anyways so no biggie there.
fireworks that night, and working on the house friday trying to finish repairs before the party and getting paint dry. Sunday Ill do the same thing i do about every sunday and take the dog for a long walk in the mountains, if possible id like to work in a little fishing.
sunday is to make up for a lame ass parade too early for a weekend morning followed by family and children taking over my home, followed by me stepping on legos that night that got dropped and not put away.

[KapitanSparrow]

Only one thing is certain about my 4th of July plans: I am going to drink a lot!

[accadacca]

I just got home from Bear Lake a couple hours ago. I had a great time. The weather was a little cloudy, but overall very nice. I did a little boating, motorcycling and ate a famous raspberry shake. I almost forget about the dutch oven dinner that my Dad cooked too. Good Stuff. :2thumbs:

How did everyone else fair? :ne_nau: :popcorn:

[blueeyes]

We had a great time.

Good food, good company, and relay races!

[Deuce]

I fear taking the boat out on major holidays..... Though that may have been a poor decision, being that we FINALLY had great weather this weekend......

Rode 32 road miles in the PC area....

Spent some time in a friends pool....

I was also VERY proud to watch The Little One completed her first "run"....

At first I thought you guys were running away from a lit bottle rocket. :haha:

[RugerShooter]

Just got back from Lava, ran the river a couple time and went to the pool. There new slides are a blast. Great weather only rained for a little bit Friday night.

[greyhair biker]

enjoyed time with the famdamily and then watched fireworks....yeah, watched, since I have a 'record' with the local police regarding fireworks :ne_nau: :haha: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:

[DaveG]

Spent time with family - Provo parade - ugh!

On the 3rd I met up with a buddy of mine and we rode up Immigration. I have not done that before - very cool ride up - even better on the way down. Fun to pass folks decked out in their matching riding gear and I'm in shorts and t-shirt :2thumbs:

If you have never done it - do it - the ride down is worth the 8 mile climb!

[James_B_Wads2000]

My brother and his family are in town from Germany. So I spent the weekend visiting, telling stories, bbqing and lighting fireworks.
