FWIW, IMO we need the rain....certainly in the Los Anchorage area, suspect it's needed elsewhere too, although I've not been to the Copper River area lately.
Also FWIW and also IMNSHO, if y'all have a good camping spot, 4th of July weekend is a good time to just stay put. Most of the road-accessible campgrounds will be their busiest (maybe maybenot full, but busiest) this weekend.
.....and I find the drive back to Los Anchorage from either North or South a very less enjoyable experience on the last night of a holiday weekend than otherwise.....
^^^ This is the honest truth! ^^^
I love camping and ATV'ing all over south central Alaska, but this weekend will be a "stay-cation" due to the massive crowds everywhere. I have the camper moved to the back of my mountain side property, fire pit, and camp chairs all ready to camp out in the solitude of Hiland Mountain near Eagle River. I should be able to watch Eagle River's fireworks show from our fire pit.
So what time do they set off the fireworks? It never gets dark enough to see them. I was told by long time residents there is no firework display in Fairbanks... Oh well, I like the idea of sitting around the fire! Oh Bartender!
