Venue Change for Oct 1st and Oct 2nd.

Post date: Aug 31, 2010 4:35:10 PM

Since we can't do all that we want to accomplish at Cutter, we've decided that on Oct. 1st, we'll meet at the Los Gatos Scout Hut for our Friday night sessions. Please either eat before the sessions or bring a 'sack dinner.' Local participants can spend the night at their homes and participants that need a place to stay can either pitch or a tent or stay inside the hut on Friday night. Thanks to Troop 501 and SM Tom Richards for their hospitality.

Why are we meeting in Los Gatos? Because our Saturday morning session will be at Stevens Creek Reservoir in Cupertino, just a short drive down Hiway 85 and then down Foothill Blvd to Stevens Creek Park. On Saturday morning, Oct. 2nd, we'll be kayaking on the reservoir, do some field archery at the Stevens Creek archery range and some geocaching at Pichetti Open Space reserve. All three venues are located within the park. By meeting at Los Gatos, it'll save us from driving up to Cutter and then driving back the next morning.

For the afternoon sessions, we'll drive up Stevens Canyon Road to Redwood Gulch and then up Highway 9 and to Los Altos Gun Club on Highway 35, near Castle Rock SP. The gun club will be 1.5 miles east of the junction and located on the right side. Please observe the speed (10 MPH). At the gun club, we'll round robin sessions with skeet, rifle and pistol. For those that don't want to participate, there will also be an air gun range.

From here, we'll head back up to Cutter for dinner and our evening sessions.
