Saturday 4 th July 2020..Day 138!!

Woke up to clear skies and no sign of rain.....after I fed

the animals on the hobby farm here







 I was on the road heading up the coast road to here....





It was a lovely two km hike through the forests....








To Mystic Beach....







If you catch the tide right you can go under the waterfall.





Which is what I did..







There were too many people on this beach for me so I hiked back to the car park and then went down to China Beach...another lovely area, less people and great sunshine and I actually sunbathed for about 45 minutes......







I got back around 5 pm after a really nice day...


Tonight it is going to a light dinner and then watch my new series this time on Netflix, called The Stranger....


This has to be a Fourth of July bird




I like this...





Stay safe and healthy!!


This is going to be a long read but I hope enjoyable...it was my best celebration of the Fourth of July!!!

In all truth it wasn’t really a great parade but it was fun!!

I looked at the road maps and I figured with a good day of driving I could be at Mount Rushmore by about 8pm and watch the light show so that is where I was headed…

My first time in this State!!

It was a drive of nearly 400 miles and I did arrive at Mount Rushmore by 8pm and my first photo I could not help thinking of what my Anderson boys on the Bank said when they were here a couple of years…that sure looks like DAD!!!!!

Sure enough I thought the same thing too!!!!

I found a seat at the back of the Amphitheatre and when the Ranger came on stage at 9pm there were hundreds of people seated.  What a thrill for me to be here on the 4th of July surrounded by Veterans and a light show and the singing of the anthem..yes I shed a tear!!!!!
