Yellow Creek State Park (south side of lake)
21 August 2016
Orienteering Meet

The weather forecast probably kept some people away.  It did rain the night before and pretty much right up to the start of the event; but during the event there were only a few brief showers.  Naturally, the woods and the fields were totally wet, as was everyone who returned from a course.  Nevertheless, we did have 30 starts with a total of 44 participants.  This was a better turnout than we thought we would get.

Al  Sheaffer was meet director; he designed five courses to challenge the participants.  And they were challenged, partly because several on the intermediate and advanced long course probably should have been on an easier course.  But the only negative comments I heard were of the nature of "we did a 180 here" or "I misinterpreted something on the map here".  Everyone seemed to like the courses, although I'm sure the wet conditions got to them after a while.

Thanks to Christy Freeman, Giuseppina Mecchia, Tom Gray, Linda Gray and Laurie Opila for running registration.  Thanks to Barbara Johnstone, Ryan Knecht and James Fenn for doing start/finish.  Thanks to Naomi Jarvis for helping with instruction.  And thanks to Paul Humphreys, Tom Gray, Linday Gray, Eric Steinbring and Ryan Knecht for doing control pickup.
