Blue Spruce Park
Orienteering Meet
26 August 2007

It was a fairly warm day, about average for late August.  The woods were wet from recent rains; they were also full of insects.  Nevertheless, everyone seemed to be having a good time.  The courses were generally designed to avoid most of the thick briars; but a few orienteers tried some totally unexpected route choices and got scratched up a bit.  The participant group was somewhat unusual for this meet:  very few non-club members and no scouts.  We also had a couple participants from neighboring clubs.  Thanks to Barbara Johnstone, Mary McElhinny, Laurie Opila, and Alexis Rzewski for running registration.  Thanks to Bryon Roland for helping with  finish and instruction; and thanks to Mary McElhinny and Bryon Roland for helping with pickup.  The next event is our contribution to National Orienteering Day at Hartwood Acres.
