2009 AFE Tour Blog Day 7: Camp Lemonaire Day 1

Our morning wake up call came around 7:30am and we walked to the Galley to eat breakfast. After breakfast we just walked around the base for a while getting more familiarized with the place. We had a few hours to kill so we did a little shopping, drank some coffee, and took in all the sights and sounds.

After lunch we had a meet and greet with the Commanders of the base. They gave us a quick “briefing” of the whole operation, the history, their purpose, etc….. The meeting took place in a“war room”, literally. It was very surreal to imagine the heated conversations that have gone on in that room. We had a very informative meeting, took some pictures, and were presented with gold coins recognizing our trip to Camp Lemonaire. These guys are very good to have on your side so it’s nice for us to be able to go in and talk with them when we have a chance.

After our meeting, we went back to our CLU to relax for a little bit before heading to the venue for the show.

Overall, the show went great. We had a great crowd, met lots of amazing people, and got to hang out afterwards for a few hours. We are keeping today’s blog short and sweet because we have some HUGE ones coming
