Happy 4th of July to everyone! Stay safe during the fireworks displays in your area.
Independence Day, also referred to as the Fourth of July or July Fourth, is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence 241 years ago on July 4, 1776. The Continental Congress declared that the thirteen American colonies regarded themselves as a new nation, the United States of America, and were no longer part of the British Empire.[1] The Congress actually voted to declare independence two days earlier, on July 2.
While many PAX came early, many were groggy including YHC himself.
Quick Disclaimer… Blah blah Into Stretch. Half-hearted attempt at Wind Mill IC x10, then…
Decided a quick Mosey was just what we needed to wake. Turned quickly into Mosey w merkins, stopping at both the roundabouts for a quick x10 OYO merkin showdown, many PAX opted for extra credit merkins…
Headed to FOP and banged out x10 more merkins
Now we start the main event… “Stripes then Stars!”
