I love fireworks from a distance. I went to a fireworks show out at Mono Lake, CA back in 1986???? After the first few booms, something went wrong and the whole mess blew up there on the ground, people were hurt, it was horrible.
I finally decide to go to a show a few years ago. Fortunately it was WAY too crowded and I went home. What happens, the fireworks tip over and shoot out into the crowd.
That means I will NEVER go to an organized firework show. I like to park a few streets over, avoid the crowds and watch the high flying ones.
Years ago, they would like them off closer to the east end of our valley, and you could park along the pass, and see the whole show down in the valley. But now they are in the middle of the valley and there are no views from the hills that I have found.
But, whatever anyone decides to do, I hope you all have a happy and safe 4th of July!!!
This sort of thing happens al the time. That's why I mention from a distance a long distance.
