Yellow Creek State Park (south side of lake)
21 August 2016
Orienteering Meet
The weather
forecast probably kept some people away. It did rain the night
before and pretty much right up to the start of the event; but during
the event there were only a few brief showers. Naturally, the
woods and the fields were totally wet, as was everyone who returned
from a course. Nevertheless, we did have 30 starts with a total
of 44 participants. This was a better turnout than we thought we
would get.
Al
Sheaffer was meet director; he designed five courses to challenge
the participants. And they were challenged, partly because
several on the intermediate and advanced long course probably should
have been on an easier course. But the only negative comments I
heard were of the nature of "we did a 180 here" or "I misinterpreted
something on the map here". Everyone seemed to like the courses,
although I'm sure the wet conditions got to them after a while.
Thanks to
