MARCH - Camp Merriweather on the Coast
Each
year we go to Camp Merriweather in March to launch rockets. This year the weather
was so bad that no rockets were launched, but the Scouts did launch many other
things.
| On the beach with a potato cannon. We didn't have any potatoes, but we found a good supply of pop bottles to blast across the lake. | |
 Loading
the cannon. |
Below: Most of the shots made it across the lake. |

Below: FIRE! |

All
of the "ammunition" used in the cannon was attached to a cord
(shown here laid out on the beach), so that no trash went in the lake.
Getting
ready to fire.
Later
that day, back in camp
the rain started to pour down.
