Our Troop has just returned from a weekend of fun at the Delaware State Park. In all, over a dozen people came on this campout with us. We went to Delaware State Park on Friday, November 18th and stayed until the 20th. On Saturday (the 19th) we went shooting at the local shooting range. Our Scoutmaster’s son was back for a little while from a couple of deployments to Afghanistan and was able to show us some of his weaponry and was able to show us some cool pictures from his time overseas. We shot an array of guns, including a .22 and .40 caliber handgun along with a 12 gauge and 20 gauge shotgun. A box of clay pigeons and more than a few handfuls of rounds later, we retreated to a restaurant that we always go to on this campout. The G and R Restaurant in Waldo, home of the famous “Fried Bologna” sandwich is where we ate lunch and watched some of the football game. Then, after some chowder and some laughter back at camp (and after a nightly visit from friendly, local racoons) we packed up and headed for home. Ah, a weekend of relaxation. Isn’t that what we all need sometimes?
