Any 4th of July camp experiences?
Well, since we didn't make it to a campground this year I miss all the people watching. Anyone have any experiences to share from there holiday trips?

It's interesting the number of complaints of rude neighbors at campgrounds and comments that we camp to for relaxation.
If that's the case why go to FHU campgrounds? Is Az unique with the amount of dispersed camping available? Get out of the campgrounds and get down some forest service roads and camp with nearest neighbor a 1/4 mile away. 1/2 of AZ is national forests and there for us to use. An amazing resource.
I went up to the rim country this weekend. About 7500 feet. No AC required daytime weather high 70's Night time High 50's and raining. Really needed it. Sat morning a quick ride to "town" for a parade. Road was lined with Razors and Rhinos for a couple miles. Parade was private citizens with decorated vehicles celebrating our independence. Some throwing candy to the kids. It was an old time parade and celebration.
Sat afternoon it was a Rhino ride up the mountain then a short walk to a forest service Fire Tower. Believe it or not open to the public. The walk up the tower stairs for this 60 year old at 7500 feet was a chore. It was an amazing view of my states forests. Even saw a small forest fire. Young lady and her dog man the station. she has goodie bags for any children that make the trek.
She lives in a trailer on site.
I have a 96 caribou TC and tow a 14' utility trailer with my Rhino. Joined a group of 4 friends with toy haulers. When I arrived They asked if I needed help setting up. My response was "I just put the truck in Park. I am set up" 1 of the reasons I bought the TC.
In short It was a great weekend and a reminder of what a great country we live in.
