THE IRON TURKEY CHALLENGE

Legend Legend has it that deep within the undergrowth of Balboa Park struts the voracious Iron Turkey. Many a bold archer has risked arrow and limb confronting the fiend, only to have their precious shafts shatter to shards of carbon upon the beasts iron scaled hide. The tale goes that one courageous archer, known only as Dave the Dauntless, fired a magical black arrow at the fowl beast. This shot broke away small scales from its Iron-clad breast revealing two small vulnerabilities. A mighty archer of great skill and cunning could exploit this weakness and successfully impale the creature, as for the rest…. Your arrows will surely splinter.

Heads Up – Morley Vandals!

 

WARNING!

Car Break Ins at Morley Field Parking Lot

 

Vandals have been scouting the Morley Field Parking Lot. On Friday, 2/19/16 at ~10:30am, archers at the Morley Field Archery Range heard two loud noises. When they realized it was the sound of a car window breaking, many archers headed towards the parking lot, only to see a car speeding away. The vandals had watched a woman get out of her car with no purse in hand and walk towards the softball fields. Within a few moments, her car window was broken and her purse was stolen off the front seat. The vandals had a get away car ready to go, leaped in and took off before anyone could get the licence plate number.

 

Please use caution when parking at Morley Field (or anywhere in Balboa Park, for that matter). Never get out of your car, and lock your valuables in the trunk or tuck them under the seat while in the Morley Field Parking Lot, then walk away. Lock your valuable in the trunk or hide them BEFORE you get to the parking lot. The thieves may be sitting in a car watching everyone come and go, then walk past a recently parked car to see if anything valuable is within easy reach. 

 

Stay safe!
