It was a very hot day to be orienteering (mid 80's). The vegetation was at its height and that included the poison ivy. The turnout was fairly good, light for the White and Yellow courses but ok for Orange and Green. We had several people show up who had not been to our meets before, most notably Lori & Julia who went out on three courses. Jennifer Livingston was meet director and course designer. There were a lot of positive comments about the courses, except perhaps for Orange. Jim Wolfe, who printed the maps, made a mistake and left one control off of the pre-printed Orange maps. This caused a little problem for the first few people out on Orange; but a correction was made in time for most Orange competitors.
We had one new member join at the meet; welcome to Martha Heselbarth.
Thanks to Michael Adametz, Dave Torick and Mary McElhinny for handling registration. Thanks to Joe Logan and Bryon Roland for covering start/finish. And thanks to Dave Torick, Dave Battista and Michael Adametz for helping to pick up the controls.
The next meet will be at Blue Spruce Park on Sept 20 as part of National
Orienteering Day.
