fourth of july

Lazer Kittyz?

For nearly a decade, we had a favorite spot in the southern Sawtooth Mountains that was about a two-hour drive from Twin Falls, but years of damage from storms and humans forced us to look elsewhere.

For southern Idaho Fourth of July revelers next week, there will be a bright, massive addition to the night sky that can't be purchased at any firework stand.

I think about him when I prep the grill now, which is quite often because I barbeque at least three times a week throughout the year.

Fireworks shows are planned in southern Idaho this weekend, as well as other great events such as a classic car show on Blue Lakes Boulevard.

The money raised alone from speeding citations on Kimberly Road could probably cover the show's expenses. As far as the view is concerned, it would be nearly impossible to top, especially from a boat or kayak on the Snake River below.

Water is becoming a scarcity, and fire departments every Fourth of July waste an awful lot of it putting out blazes started by fireworks.

The pairing of the video with music from Creedence is just the cherry on top. This is America and it looks fun.

How was your Fourth of July experience in Twin Falls? I ask, because there appears to be a large number in the community who took to social media to air grievances regarding those who took lighters to fuses to celebrate our country's independence.

As the Fourth of July approaches, we are beginning to see Idaho city officials banning together to discourage the public from setting off fireworks over the holiday, as the fire danger remains high throughout the state due to drought conditions and excessive heat.

Combined, we must have spent about $200. My buddy Chris bought a 220 shot Amazing Ballet box, which ran about $150 alone.

For the fourth year in a row, McCall will enforce their alcohol ban.
