Day 36... Its July 4th...

Very very patriotic, US flags and banners streamers everywhere, fire works display on a pontoon in the bay at 10pm. I think we are going to a family friend that lives up the hill a bit and has a good view to the lake for a BBQ and watch the fireworks.

Well that was the plan but during the night a storm came up the barge started to sink and with it all the 0,000s of dollars worth of fireworks. So no display and they closed the boat ramp and main beach area as there were explosives getting washed in. Normally 000s of people arrive early to stake their beach spot for the day and night.

So there they were dragging all the day's gear food booze for the day to find the gates to the ramp and the beach closed with security guards turning people away. People's planned day ruined, Apparently the area will be closed for days.

However i did get a nice bush walk in with Neal and his dog Ruby, lovely quiet walk only saw 4 other people. Then come 6pm we headed to Neals friend's place (Bill) for a July 4th bbq, had some delicious home made burgers and salads. Bill got hold of a blue laser torch to entertain us instead of the fireworksOkumaya devam et
