Fireworks at 3am?

All I want to know is who was lighting off firecrackers at 3:30 in the morning on Sunday? Scared the living hell out of me and the wife.....

I can't be the only one that heard them between 3:330am and 4:15am..... so much for a full night sleep before the ride home

The only fireworks I heard were those at the bottom the the Tail of the Dragon while we were waiting the road to open again. There were locals setting off a few fireworks around 12:30am. Maybe they followed us back to the village.

There were a couple of people in our cabin that heard them and 4 that didn't, but I found the wrapper from them in front of the Motorswags cabin!
