December 2010 - San Diego Zoo



 
   

It was fun exploring the zoo at night.
 

The zoo was decorated for the holidays.
 

Many of the animals were not very excited about our visit.

Shortly after Christmas, we visited the San Diego Zoo and enjoyed the "Jungle Bells" event.  The zoo was festively decorated for the holidays.  Many of the animals were not very active, but it was fun to hangout together and explore the zoo grounds at night.

September 2010 - Venturing Beach Party


August 2010 - Venturing Rendezvous at MSR



      

We attend the 2010 Venturing Rendezvous at Mataguay Scout Ranch.  We Participated in a variety of shooting sport activities on the Mataguay ranges.  We tried our hands at .22 rifles, center-fire rifles, hand guns and archery.  We challenged ourselves on the COPE high ropes course.  We cooked a Pineapple Upside-down Cake and Buffalo Wings in Dutch ovens for the potluck.  It was a great weekend of camping and fellowship with other crews from around the council.

July 2010 - Yosemite Backpacking

Climbing Vogelsang Pass

Our Super-Activity for 2010 was a backpacking trek in Yosemite National Park.  Prior to the backpack trek, we spent one day touring Yosemite Valley and had a great day taking in the magnificent views.  Our backpack trek started at Tuolumne Meadows and linked together three High-Sierra Camps: Vogelsang, Merced Lake and Sunrise.  We camped in the backpacker campsites, but we appreciated the piped potable water and bathrooms provided by the camps.  The trek was very challenging and took us through some of the best Yosemite high country.  It was an amazing trek that we will always remember.  We broke up the ride home with an overnight stop at Mammoth Lakes where we enjoyed hot showers and a dinner in town.

May 2010 - Rock Climbing



         

We spent an evening Rock Climbing at Solid Rock Gym in Poway.  It was a lot of fun and a great workout.  We climbed until we could not climb anymore.

February 2010 - College Tour Trip



      

In February of 2010, Crew 626 went on a week long trip to visit colleges in Northern California.  Several of our members were high school Juniors who wanted to explorer some of the college options in Northern California.  We went on tours at: UC Merced, CSU Stanislaus, UC Davis, Sonoma State, UC Berkeley, Stanford and UC Santa Cruz.  We camped each night and cooked most of our meals to keep costs down.  On the last day, we squeezed in a visit to Ano Nuevo State Park where we toured the Elephant Seal Preserve.  It was a very busy week, but we were exposed to a wide range of colleges that will help our members start making their college plans.
