Obviously, there was no TV there - let alone internets, LOL. But I do remember the moon landing, strangely enough. It was just luck that my friend Nancy and I were in the vicinity of the camp nurse's cabin at just the right time - and she happened to have a small b&w TV (probably the only one in all of camp) and saw us and invited us in to watch it! So I know where I was and will always remember seeing the moon landing.
