Mission Accomplished
Our troop owes a huge debt of gratitude to QP Albeham.
His troop put us up for two nights at the church that supports his troop. We left Florida at 0400 and got to Md at 2300. Al was waiting for us with drinks and the AC on. Saturday we got up, got breakfast and then headed to DC. We visited Col Rowan's grave and then watched the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington. After Arlington we checked out a couple of the Smithsonian museums. Sunday morning we got on the road to camp in Va.
I did the Mountain Man program at Blue Ridge Scout Reservation. Cooked all week over an open fire, shot muzzleloaders, threw tomahawks and knives, did blacksmithing, made a green river knife, overall a great time.
Thanks again Al.
AJ
