IUP Co-Op Recreational Park
Orienteering Meet and IUPOC Reunion
30 June 2018
It was a very hot, sunny day. The temperature hovered around 90
and the humidity was high. Nevertheless, 40 intrepid folks went
out on the courses in 30 starts. Everyone was warned about the
bear in the park; but no one reported seeing it. The turnout
was about average for an event at the Co-Op Park; it is a bit far for
many people in Pittsburgh and the heat was certainly a deterrence.
Despite the sweating, everyone seemed to have a good time on the
courses. Most of the people who came for the reunion stayed in
the air conditioned lodge most of the time. They spent much of
the time reminiscing.
Mark Frank (organizer of the reunion) set the courses. They were
generally shorter and flatter than the typical course at the Co-Op
Park. He set them that way hoping some of the IUPOC alumni would
give a few of the courses a try; only a couple did. Several
scouts successfully negotiated the beginner course after keeping
our instructor busy teaching them want to do.
Thanks to Laurie Opila, Ryan Knecht, and James Fenn for handling
registration. Thanks to Joe Logan for doing instruction.
Thanks to Mark Frank and Eric Weyman for placing most of the
controls. Thanks to Lee Bash, Naomi Jarvis, James Fenn, Joe Logan
and Petr
Hartman for doing control pick up. And thanks to Mark Frank and
Eric Weyman for doing general cleanup after the event.

Our next event will also be at the IUP Co-Op Park on August 12.
The courses are expected to have much more typical amounts of
climb and distance.
