Blue Spruce Park
Orienteering Meet
20 Sep 2009

It was an ideal day for a National Orienteering Day event; the only things that were missing were the participants.  For whatever reasons we had a low turnout, considering the weather, the fact that we were giving away stuff and the lateness of the Steelers game.  This event was also co-sponsored by the Friends of the Park; however, only a couple of them showed up.  Most of those who came had a good time.  There was a little unexpected problem for those on the Orange course - one of the controls was incorrectly circled on the maps.  Nevertheless, everyone who went out on Orange actually found the control.   Bryon Roland was the meet director; but the error on the Orange course control was not his fault.   Jim Wolfe incorrectly drew the Orange maps.

Thanks to Patricia Ward, Barbara Johnstone, Mary McElhinny for handling registration.  Thanks to Loretta Opila for providing instruction.  Thanks to Joe Logan and Alexis Rzewski for handling start/finish.  And thanks to Mary McElhinny, Bryon Roland and Alexis Rzewski for helping to pick up the controls.

The next meet will be at Deer Lakes Park on October 4..
