Bear Valley Elementary school
Perfect temperatures greeted the 71 people who tested their orienteering skills in Bear Valley. Lindsey Flagstad was the quickest woman on the more difficult red course and Ian Moore had the fastest time in the men’s class on the same course. Many families with young kids had lots of fun on the white and yellow courses.
