This week, Sunday school was held along the banks of Coyote Creek. This was Dogscout’s first official outing, and she made the most of it by taking a dip in the creek. The scouts took note of several different plant species, took some samples, spooked a duck and a cottontail, and learned the fine art of spotting a good skipping stone in the wild. We also stumbled upon a rather sophisticated homeless camp, which appeared to be vacant at the time, perhaps because the 49ers were about to take on the Atlanta on TV.
