Memorial day is usually celebrated with grilling in the park. I don't know what the difference has been this year, but all the parks are full of people. July 4th was downright miserable with the heat and humidity. Maybe people felt cheated, and tried to make it up? We managed to find an unoccupied spot, deep in the valley, but our presence alerted other people to the hidden area. The bugs weren't too bad, only got bit twice.
