We go through a military POW barracks. This is interesting. I remember seeing men running around in their underwear in the barracks at night with the curtains open one timewhen I eas thirteen. . Dad had to stop by to get something in Tennessee at the base at barracks. So many good memories of Dad being in the military.

This POW barracks is like a prison. Chains. The beds look uncomfortable. Not very comfy. Ugly rotted wood. They built it to be authentic.

We get to take helicopter rides. I am so excited. I get in the helicopter. StephBee Witchy Yule Woman Winter Wonderin' Wanderin' stephen.ret are in the helicopter. We hear the propellers and fly into the air. I love seeing the scenery below. Deer are running. We see some woods. I love flying in the helicopter. It is so comforting. We get a twenty minute ride. Our ride is done.
