The weather forecast looks great, the gas prices are down - there are
NO excuses not to come out to Lake Russell State Park for a fun day of
Orienteering on 10/19/08!
E-Punching is available from White to Red! I already cleaned out most
of the spider webs, the woods are wide open and fast! Bring your
family and friends, don't forget the picnic!
That's what's waiting for you:
See y'all on Sunday!
Guido
P.S. As always, helpers are welcome... ;-)
