On the Saturday of February 10, all of the scouts went to the LMS and got into cars. We took a five and a half hour drive all the way to Little Rock, Arkansas. Before going to the submarine, we stopped by a place called the Clinton Presidential Library, where we learned about President Clinton, his time in office, and a little history on the U.S. government. After that, we went to the Arkansas Inland Maritime Museum where we learned about the history of the submarine we were going to stay in, the USS Razorback. Two separate groups went into the submarine to tour it and see its torpedoes, its kitchen, and its bunks. After both groups had finished, we put our gear into the submarine and relaxed inside the museum for a while until it was time to go back inside the sub to sleep. Once we had climbed down the ladder, we picked out our bunks and settled down for the rest of the night. The next morning we packed up our things and headed back to the cars. After that, we started our journey back home. We took a quick pit stop at a barbeque place and continued on back to St. Louis. All in all, the trip was packed with lots of information and fun at the same time.
