Camping......5 miles from home. Raquay Holland

I just went to an aviation campout. Coming to this campout made me realize that we needed some more Deacons. There were only 3 other Deacons that came to the campout. It took us a bit longer to get to the desired location, because the campsite was different from last year! Anyways, we got there and I got my stuff in the tent. For dinner, we had cheeseburgers, without just heating up some patties. We actually made patties, using ground beef and flattening it. I think we should have gotten more ground beef, since everyone could only have one. It was pretty uneventful, even for a Friday night, so what we basically did was just go to bed. The next morning, as usual, I was the earliest riser. My feet were definitely icicles. (Probably because I just slept ON the sleeping bag, not IN.) We had biscuits and sausage gravy for breakfast. We had to walk 3/4 of a mile to go to the flag raising. The first thing we did was a flight simulator. I thought the flight simulator was going to be EPIC. Not really. All we did was just play some boring R/C simulator on a laptop, with an R/C controller. Whoop-de-doo. Anyways, we went to a museum. It was mostly WWII things. I found a real life Thompson sub-machine gun. It's legal to use in the United States, you just need a license. At least, that's what I heard. We took some tours of some planes and a hangar. I walked probably a mile just to "fly" an R/C airplane. I had to wait like, half an hour with my ticket. It was hot, and I didn't feel like waiting in the heat just to fly some scale model of an aircraft. If I really wanted to do that, I would just buy one and fly it outside. Without waiting. All that happened next worth mentioning was that we had our usual lunch (PB&J with Cheese Puffs) and then we went home. 

I'm surprised Matt C. didn't come to this campout. He loves aviation. Matt D. came to this one, though. This was also the first campout I went to where Bro. Hudman didn't come. Tally pretty much took his place.
