Keystone State Park
Orienteering Meet
11 May 2024


 It was a cool day for May; temperature about 50. We had rain from about 12:30 to 3:00 pm so many people came back soaked. Nevertheless, we had a total of 30 starts from 46 participants. Despite the weather and the conditions in the green areas, marshy with annoying bushes, everyone seemed to have a good time.

Jim Wolfe designed five courses that were relatively flat, all with climbs less than 2%. The intermediate and advanced courses were also a mixture of some challenging compass work and a number of controls that were quite easy. There was one unfortunate incident in that four people on the intermediate course took an unexpected route from control 4 to 5 and ended up in an irate homeowner's driveway.

Generally, the winning times for the courses was about what was expected, with the exception of the Advanced Short course. A group of young scouts with parents won on the Beginner course; this rarely happens.

Thanks to Ryan Repp, Yaki Barak and Laurie Opila for handling registration/check-in. Thanks to John Pane and Jim Wolfe for helping with start/finish. Thanks to Joe Logan for conducting instruction. And thanks to Dave Battista, Alexis Rzewski and Ryan Knecht for doing control pickup.
