Earthquake Park
There were over 150 competitors, including several dozen first time orienteers, on the 5 traditional orienteering courses prepared at Earthquake Park.
The ground was dry, the brush was thin, and the mosquitoes were non-existent providing excellent orienteering opportunities. The excitement for the evening was provided by a new born moose calf (and mom) that decided to nest for the evening on one of the controls used in the red and green courses. Despite the unexpected wildlife challenge, Jen Jolliff and Ian Moore lead all finishers in the red course.
Congratulation to all the first time orienteers that came out to give orienteering a try. We hope to see you again at future meets.
Special thanks to Dan Billman and Lia Keller for helping sign up competitors, Jenny Redick for collecting finish times, Jen Jolliff for providing training to several dozen first time orienteers, and Dwight Iverson for picking up controls.

This was a points meet. Check out how you are doing in the season standings. NOTE: due to the unfair competition in the green and red courses, no season points are awarded on those courses for this meet.
The red course is available in Route Gadget (Thanks Ian), if you would like me to add other courses, send me an email.
P.S. We would love your feedback! If you have criticisms, praise, suggestions, comments, or whatever – please let us know.
