In December, the Crew went to Coyote Point for a day of pioneering and pistol shooting. Prior to their reservation and scheduled shooting time, the Crew had a pioneering day in the park and constructed several rolling stars; a device that lashed together 8’ spars in the shape of a star and Crew members to walk on them across a field. The Crew learned how to construct shapes like squares, pentagons, hexagons, and octagons only using rope and wood.
When the crew finished, they cleaned up and visited the Coyote Point Rifle and Pistol Club. We started the afternoon with a thorough safety briefing conducted by club members and then had an opportunity to visit the range and shoot with several different handguns including semi automatics, single and double action revolvers. The crew had lots of fun before heading to the group campground at Memorial Park.
We arrived at Memorial Park after dark, but it was still early in the evening. The Crew set up camp and cooked a delicious mac and cheese for dinner and enjoyed a wonderful campfire full of many songs before sleeping in the rain with the park to themselves. The woke in the morning to a bit of rain, yet carried on with our planned service project to help the park rangers pull French Broom and other several invasive species in the park for a few hours before heading home to the Congregational Church of the Peninsula.
