The star of the show was the perfect weather, the help of so many volunteers, and the bright shining faces of SO MANY new orienteers, especially the very young ones. Another star was David Barron, the Ranger at the camp, without whose cooperation, help, and support none of this would be possible. As Bob and Linda pointed out, he even helped with bag pickup. He was good at it, too.

Bob and Linda were too kind with their comments. I threw in a few inadvertent curves. Several people mentioned / complained about the location and letter designation of Control #15. When both were wrong, that should have been a dead giveaway. It was a decoy. The real Control #15 was properly placed. The decoy was inadvertent–an extra control not on the map. Next year we may do it on purpose. Another curve was my attempt to make last minute map corrections. My numbered changes with legend at the bottom were mistaken by some to be changed controls. The lack of clarity was my fault. The Bert Adams Scout Reservation map is a work in progress. There is much potential for improvement–even more for expansion into other areas, and adaptation for Canoe-O. Additional mappers are needed.

Fortunately, everyone seemed to be in a forgiving mood, maybe because of the perfect weather.

There were four options:

Advanced, Intermediate, GP (Glutton for Punishment) and Search and Destroy (for teams)

There was a 90 minute time limit and a 5 point per minute penalty for overtime.  Some took their time and walked and enjoyed the beautiful weather and explored the new (to Orienteering) property.  They were designated "Wayfarers".
