Last year, the missus and I spent Independence Day with the good folks of Rachel, Nevada, at the Little A’Le’Inn. After getting directions to Area 51’s Back Gate, we were treated to a complimentary barbecue, lots of booze, a water fight, a participatory fireworks show, and a free place to set up camp for the night. And an invitation to come back in November to join everyone for Thanksgiving dinner.
This year? We fired an eighty-year-old homemade cannon across the waters of Lake Pend Oreille.
Oh, sure, there was family, food, beer, boating, and fireworks. But just look at that blast, would you? #murica
