Not that I would want to live there but it is still pretty cool to be living there. Glad the movie was good anyway. I don't know much about that movie other than it is sci-fi with lots of action. Showing the pic of the Boy Scouts and their tents makes it clear that there really were Boy Scouts and tents.

And a clean sink with enough room for all my stuff. And a king sized bed - with soft cotton sheets. Maybe a nice down comforter and some cushy pillows. Plus a flat screen TV with HBO. And a nice breakfast in the morning including Colombian coffee. I can rough it otherwise.
