It was a cold day that started cloudy and got brighter as the day went on. It was good weather for orienteering. Although the map was new, it was necessary to make some adjustments because of gas well drilling - several new roads needed to be added. But John Hartman, course setter and co-director, scouted out the changes and designed some interesting courses. The turnout was unusual in that we had only one person go on the white course; but we had larger than usual turnout for both the yellow and score. We also used a new scoring system for the score in an attempt to encourage developing a strategy for attacking the course. Based on the results, the new system did what was intended. Also, a special mention goes to Ed Cabana. This was the first time he came to one of our orienteering meets; and we participated in all three courses - an impressive showing.
We welcome Jim Trautmann as a new club
member. Thanks to Lenny Lewis (Sr. and Jr), Barbara Johnstone, Laurie
Opila and Karen Gracy for helping with registration. Thanks to Bryon
Roland and Mary McElhinny for helping with control pickup. And thanks
to John Hartman for meet directing, putting out controls and picking up
controls. The Spring season will begin in late March.
