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.

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.
