Blue Spruce Park
Orienteering Meet
11 September 2022


It started out as a rainy day; but by about noon the rain had pretty much stopped; naturally, everything in the forest was wet. We had a good turnout for an event in the eastern part of our territory: 27 starts from 47 people. There were quite a few scouts and others who needed instruction.

Sherry Shank was event director. She offered three courses: a 2.2 km Beginner course, a 3.9 km Novice course, and a 20-control 90-minute Score course with a maximum of 425 points. Everyone seemed to have a good time on the courses, especially some of the scouts. The Novice course caused several people problems; but a couple of those were due to running out of time. Dave Battista is the only one who came close to clearing the Score course.

Thanks to Eric Steinbring, Loretta Opila and Nathaniel Hazelton for handling registration/check-in. Thanks to Jim Wolfe for helping with start/finish. Thanks to Sherry Shank for conducting instruction. And thanks to Jerry Agin, Christee and John Homan and Yaki Barak for doing control pickup.

The next WPOC event will be at South Park on 25 September.
