Me?
I am going to spend a good 2 weeks at our place in Clallum County.
Just going to chill out.

I would like to sharpen my fly fishing skills.
My best friend is a Steel head/salmon guide so I expect to be a student of that skill on the Upper Dungeness River and maintain social distancing.

More or less I will, mainly do some gardening, some brush clearing, dial in my new crab pots, eat like a king and set off big fireworks on the water.

We are going to do some kayaking, some clamming on my beach and stuff like that

We have a couple of healthy guests gusts coming up that have been sheltering in place forever
Our place is small so there won’t be much of us, so I might take out some of the peeps on a charter fishing trip if that falls into social distancing and is possible.

We are kinda like “redneck” foodies so the menu should be stellar.
We dig seafood so it is hard to go wrong with that and with the smoker will be bookin along.

I am an extreme early riser so I see a bunch of early bike rides and walks those weeks.

We will not be socializing with the public so all our items will be here and waiting for us.

We are on several acres In the middle of nowhere and not near people, so that is my plan.

Yup.
That is the plan.
Andy

Probably will spend it the way I spend most 4ths of July....

Grumbling and watching our place and our animals to keep them safe from fireworks, and the fires caused by fireworks.

It's not my favorite holiday. Hot by day, loud by night.

I have no neighbors I can even see from here, but on the 4th, they're all too close.

We had plans for husband's kids and grandkids out to the island we live on, sort of a slumber party for everyone. Was going to order pizza, watch fireworks, do s'mores. BUT we cancelled as the fireworks were cancelled, restaurant (for pizza) is closed to just carry out only which we don't care for.

I'm not about to cook for 20 people and with no fireworks, everyone will just do their own thing.

Where I live in WA state we are still just on Phase I and numbers of cases/deaths of Covid indicate we won't be in Phase 2 anytime soon.

I've worked every 4th since 2015 (pet sitter). Several years were overnights because of the dogs' anxiety.

I'm supposed to do some dog sitting over the 4th. Just one client and I'm really happy about it. I've had 2 months with basically no work.

Who needs fireworks and pizza if you have s'mores?

We always stay home. We have a recreation based business so are even busier this year. Our dogs hate the fireworks that neighbors set off (the big loud ones) so we stay beside them until it is over. But, we have rural acreage so we just hang out at home.

Stay home, BBQ, relax in the sun out on the deck. Same as usual. We used to water down the yard to protect from fires, but since the city banned fireworks with a $1,000 fine it's not a worry.

Stay home, fire up the grill, maybe do some online shopping for deals on summer clothes. Later on, put the horses up and hope the drunken revelers don’t shoot one of them.

Our subdivision has fireworks aplenty. We’ll probably walk around, looking at the crazy people setting off bombs in the middle of the street. Yeah, I think they are nuts for spending money on sticks of gunpowder, but it is what it is.

I like to stay home in case we were to have something in our yard, or our roof, catch fire.
