Being a good Montanan we'd either go to a Veterans group BBQ and picnic up in the Mt side of the Big Horn Mtns , or a rodeo which was either all local contestants a Ranch Rodeo if you will or drive to Red Lodge for the parade then the Rodeo and fireworks afterwards .
Then i quit drinking adult beverages so I'd go up to A out of the way spot up in the Beartooth mtns for fishing and relaxing then watch fireworks from different ranches , and towns from the side of the mtns while sitting on a jeep trail ! A slice of heaven in my way of thinking !
Now days I stay at home where we BBQ , play various games and watch grandkids run and play to burn off some extra energy before it's dark enough to light fireworks .
Personally I'd like to be in the Washington DC area to watch the fireworks from a distance , yes I'm sure there's going to be plenty of videos floating around to watch it . Then I don't have to deal with the crowds ha ha .
Happy Independence Day and here's to the next 250 years !
