Summer holidays tend to put a strain on the resources. On July 4th, if you're not early, a median or road shoulder become prime picnic areas.


Above and below is Rocky Neck State Park on 07/04/2004.


Traffic detail at Rocky Neck. The park filled to capacity and a few thousand cars need directions elsewhere. A Good Samaritan (in pink top) stopped by with cold libations for the officers.


Traffic detail done. The usual suspects taking a break in the shade.
