The SAIL Pathfinders had a busy weekend, joining with several others to help prepare Thanksgiving care packages for the prison, before heading out to hunt fossils as part of our broader studies and activities this year.
Bright and early, several members of the SAILs turned out to help make 1000 Bags of Hope that included books and literature, toiletries, snacks, and other items for delivery to a local women's prison as part of the prison ministry program. The SAILs have been participating in this project for several years as part of our community service and outreach mission.

After packing bags, we packed up and headed east to collect fossils near the Brazos River. The site has been explored since the 1800s, and contains fossilized seashells, sharks teeth, and other marine life, many preserved exceptionally well. During our previous Pathfinder meeting, we had a chance to look at the types of fossils we would encounter, so the Pathfinders were prepared to know what to look for. Although we had a little light rain during our outing, it was a productive and enjoyable day on the river bank (we even found an otolith - a fossilized fish ear bone!).
