Now that the holiday is over, crowds gather to get good spot for July 4th, 2020.

As of this Sunday, people are already starting to take claim to precious spots of grass by Mobile Bay for the next fourth of July celebration in 2020. Grassy spots by the beach are highly coveted and now require staking out nearly a year in advance. People are starting to panic about not getting a spot with the ever growing population, and they don't want to risk having another person between them and the bay. It's only three days after the spectacular event and some people are just now arriving home still caught up in the after event traffic, which leaves those people out from getting a great area for next year.

The folks who are camped out by the American Legion right now are loaded up with all the essentials to help them survive until next July. One resident showed us bags loaded up with King Cakes, melted Blue Bell, and a whole Thanksgiving Turkey. Some question how these people will survive in this record breaking heat wave. After asking some of the campers we found that they were sleeping at night inside Yeti coolers and that seemed to do the trick.
