I'll never understand why everyone refers to it as "4th of july" rather than independance day. we call it christmas, not 25th of december. it's new year's day, not 1st of january... blah.

How about Mexico's Independance day... what's it called? Cinco De Mayo, which means ''May 5th" so they do the very same thing as we do.

Some in this country consider " they " and " we " as two of the same. Maybe we will just inherit the holidays from everyone else. Quatro de JulioCinco De Mayo, which means ''May 5th" so they do the very same thing as we do.

We took our Commander on a 2,200 mi. round trip to Southern Iowa to visit family and friends. RC lift was completed just one week prior, so it was also a test drive of the lift project. Smooth sailing up I-35.
For Independence Day (nodding to Doc), I drove on concrete to Muskegon, Michigan and then sailed to Milwaukee, Wisconsin and back after spending a few days in Beer Town. But I left the Jeep at the pier. However, after the sailing vacation, I did drive to the cabin on the Ausable River, near Grayling.

I just finished looking at your pictures and the Spot Satellite Adventure post. Great pictures. Super trip from the looks of it. I've been thinking of getting the Spot for sailing the Great Lakes.
So did you plan your route ahead of time or just drive and decide on the go?

I missed this thread... My Commander sat in the driveway as I was in Sacramento California with the P.T. Cruiser.

I own two XJ's that I drive a lot. I need a bumper sticker that says "my other ride is a Commander". I drove my 97 XJ to the fireworks display as it had poured rain and I knew I would park in a field..I didn't want to get the Commander all mudded up and knew the old Cherokee would take me anywhere.
