Emmett and Mark went on an overnight camping trip on-board the USS Little Rock, one of three ships docked at the Buffalo and Erie County Naval and Military Park. Our cub scout pack was one of several groups of (cub, boy, and girl) scouts that were on-board; the event included a dinner and breakfast in the mess, sleeping overnight in crew's quarters, and having the run of the three ships after closing hours and early the following morning.
Our crew quarters even passed the Captain's inspection, after a 6:30am reveille.
Here is Emmett posing at one of the guns on the Little Rock, enjoying the warm sun on a chilly spring morning.
