Raccoon Creek State Park
Raccoongaine XI   6-hour
6 June 2021


It was at least as warm as the day before and the saplings, ferns, leaves, multi-flora roses, raspberry bushes, hidden branches under foot, poison ivy and nettles were all still out there.  Extra water was put out and the participants took advantage of it.  I did hear of a couple of falls and some cramping but everyone seemed  to recover once they had a chance to sit around in the shade for a while.

44 of the 50 controls were placed in the forest.  Two were not placed because the locations were so overgrown; four were not placed because they were too remote for participants in such weather.  Participants were told about five of the missing controls; the sixth was a mystery control so there was no point in telling them.  
As usual, there were ten controls worth 10 points, ten worth 20 points, ten worth 30 points, ten worth 40 points and ten worth 50 points - total of 1230 points possible (because of missing ones).  There was a  penalty of 11 points per minute late.  Again, we expected scores to be lower than in the past  because of the heat and vegetation.  In the results below, you will see several people who were awarded bonuses.  The 20 point bonuses were credit for control 115 which was displaced from where it should have been by about 50 m (I placed that control and can't give a convincing excuse for the misplacement; so I will use Flip Wilson's excuse "The Devil made me do it" - most of you will probably have to look up who Flip Wilson is.)  If you couldn't find 115 and did not get credit, let me know.  The one 40 point bonus is credit  for control 136 which was apparently easily confused with a nearly identical feature nearby.

Again we had a substantial crew helping to put on the event.  Jerry Agin and Laurie Opila dealt with check-in; Joe Logan and John Huffman managed the parking;  Jen Livingston handled finish check-off; Laurie Opila and Jen Livingston prepared the food; Jim Wolfe handled registration changes, downloading and producing the results;  Alexis Rzewski and Jim Wolfe put out the controls; Jen Livingston, Alexis Rzewski, Jerry Agin, Dave Battista and Jim Wolfe did control pickup.

You can analyze your route (or other people's) using Route Gadget  (I don't know why Route Gadget thinks everyone is a DNF)

Here is a link to a little commentary about which controls were visited

You can follow this link to the photos that Alexis took   (there will be an additional link to more photos soon)

Finally, here is a link to the Saturday 3-hour results

Alexis wanted me to remind any of the campers we had at our campsite that although we did not ask for any payment for camping, we do accept small donations for camping.  If you are so inclined, you can donate at  WPOC donations
