Lake Cumberland Trip - as told by Jake Z.
Hank, Colin, Wiley, Matthew, Will, Jake, and Geoffrey went to Cumberland on April 24-26. We left at 5:30 at the scout house on Friday. We arrived at the house in Cumberland around 9:00, and got a full tour by Hank. We took a quick ride around the neighborhood in the golf cart. We then went to bed. In the morning of Saturday, Will and Jake cooked breakfast(pancakes, fruit, and goetta). We had a talk about different lures and fishing tactics with Mr. S. After that, we got our fishing gear ready and cleaned up the rooms. We then got into the cars and went to Lake Cumberland by the dam. Where we started fishing was to crowded, so we went to Wolf Creek National Hatchery. There was a creek that was coming from the hatchery that we fished in. Will got our first fish from a nice lady. Mr. S caught our 2Nd fish. We left the creek and toured the hatchery.
We then went to the house and got ready to swim in the lake. Mr. S caught another one, but it was a bluegill and we couldn't keep it. We went back to the house and packed up and pitched our tents. We then went back to the house and Mr. C was cooking dinner. We went back to our campsite and got ready for bed. We lit the fire, had s'mores, and went to bed. We woke up and had breakfast. We went to a cool cave in walking distance from our campsite. We walked back, got in the car, and started driving home.

CVG Airport Firehouse
Brennen, Colin, Jake, and Will went to the Airport Fire Department last Sunday. They got a full tour by a firefighter while the others were playing halo 5. We got a tour of their kitchen, "command station," conference room, workout room, movie room, and the bedrooms. We also got a tour of the tower and we could see the whole airport. Then we got a tour of the garage. The garage had a quick-response vehicle, an ambulance, 2 crash trucks, 1 regular firetrucks, 2 4-wheelers, and a semi that holds a disaster trailer. We got to ride in the huge crash trucks and fire the water cannon on the pile of snow from the winter. Overall, it was an awesome trip!
