I'll be heading to Birmingham, AL. If my time-off request is approved, I'll leave Friday afternoon and return Tuesday afternoon.
For now, I'll probably stay home. MAYBE cruise to Texarkana and do some preliminary work for the road meet.
I'm just gonna stay home, grill with my dad, and light fireworks. Here in San Angelo I think the worst traffic is on the 4th, the city does fireworks at Lake Nasworthy (Nasty water), then at Goodfellow AFB they do a fireworks show, then they have them at the Colts Stadium (Foster Field). So there's a lot of shows here. I'll prolly just go out to the dam and see them... Oh yeah and on the 3rd there's the POPs concert...

blitz trip to sunny Union County. 1050 miles each way, and I intend to make each leg in about 18 hours.
Travel down to Daytona for the Coke Zero (one time Firecracker) 400 plus a visit to Cape Canaveral.
Probably just head downtown (Baltimore) after a nice cookout at home and watch the fireworks. If I'm home by then....
I'm whoring myself out to my old work at a hotel with marina, who is going to be shorthanded and I'll be in town so they've asked me if I'll help out with tying up rich people's boats and things like that, so I'm poised to make a few hundred bucks in tax-free tips off of the 4th (hopefully enough to fully pay for a northeast Wyoming/North Dakota/South Dakota/eastern Montana trip I want to take over Labor Day to finally finish the Wyoming highway system in its entirety and visit North Dakota for the first time)
I plan to travel from my desk chair to the kitchen, with a possible side trip to the TV. All in all, probably about a hundred feet. :D
(Yeah, the 4th is quite lame when you are unemployed. :D)
The one band I'm in has a gig in Ohiopyle (PA) on Saturday (The 3rd)... so nothing TOO far away from home.
2 and a half weeks in Europe! Usually I'm in Cape May, NJ for the 4th, but we're going in August instead.
Party's at our house. So I'm going nowhere.
I'm planning on taking a trip to New Mexico and clinch the last part of I-25 I have left (between Springer & Raton) and get some counties in northwest New Mexico.
if you take 64/87 you are very likely to pass by me!

I hear South Africa is nice this time of year! :-D
The fourth of July falls on a day that ends in 'y' this year, so I'll be at work.

I despise the World Cup. And I refuse to leave North America ;)
My thinking is maybe Asbury Park and such
I'm going to the casino. But I do that every day. :P

They do have remedies for that problem :P :happy:
I'll be travelling to Northern Virginia on 5 July and will visit Richmond, Washington and Baltimore until 9 July as a College Road Trip. Hopefully, I'll be able to avoid all of the post 4 July traffic.

Don't count on it. If I know I-95 as well as I like to think I do...... :happy:

I took 64/87 on Memorial Day, thus, I won't be taking it on this trip. I'll be on 64 from 285 to Raton, though.
then you've been to sunny Union County more recently than I have!
I'll be in Biloxi.
Be well,
Bryant

Another journey into the Great North Woods to hang out with family. I've got all day Friday to allow myself to wander up there. I'll probably pick up some more mileage on a few state highways, maybe wet a line in a stream or two in central Wisconsin. Fishing on the 4th weekend is usually not as fun on the lakes with all the idiots zipping around on jet skis and water skiers and the like. How dare they disturb my fun with their fun! :rolleyes:

Hopefully, the oil won't spoil your visit. I may go down there next weekend to check it out myself, especially if the waves from Hurricane Alex pushes it further north. May be the last time I see the beach unspoiled.
Nowhere, unless you count an afternoon drive to Sun City West tomorrow to visit my mother.
I never go anywhere on a Fourth of July weekend. :banghead:
I'm headed up to Maine tomorrow, in the small town of Phippsburg (south of Bath) where we stay at a harbor resort. While I am up there, I plan to tour the MaineDOT sign shop in Augusta.
nowhere due to one of the tires being the spare.
The rain killed my plans :(
Fourth of July means nothing over here. It's just a normal Sunday to us.
Oh, it's nice and sunny here US71 :cool:

Good riddance day? ;)
Then again, as Britain was drifting away from things like the Bill of Rights 1668, the Magna Carta, the values of the Civil War and Restoration like limited government and limited monarchy, it's good riddance day on the west side of the Atlantic. What basically happened is that the path Britain was taking in the 17th Century continued in America (without a monarch, but with a President) and the Britain elsewhere heading on a different tragectory - good job there was an Industrial Revolution to distract everyone (and twist us onto a different course to tyranny), or we'd have ended up like France, having bloody political revolution followed by a bloody dictatorship over and over again for 100 years!

Hopefully it will rain soon - it's been rather a while since the last time and it's muggy at the moment.

The oil wasn't too bad. Got in the water, and got some beach video.
