In '06, inspired by a couple of hikers, a group of thrus in Independence marched in the parade, complete with a text adorned bedsheet ("This is what freedom is all about!") and ice axes raised high.  Highlights are in this film I've heard about called "Even More Walking".  :)

If memory serves me well (which is doesn't always!), in previous years there has been some PCT participation in 4th of July events in Independence (perhaps Monty Tam wrote about it?). I think there was even a prize-winning float. 

Anyone doing that sort of thing this time around? I'm writing a piece about 4th of July events for examiner.com  and love giving PCTer's the credit they're due.
Thanks,
