Hot & Humid - glad we did the sprint yesterday in the low dew points.

Event: OLOU Summer Sprint #17
 

We had 30 come out on a nice evening along the River. I had an interesting hour long conversation with a couple homeless people while setting and after setting controls.

This map was printed May 1 for a May 3 sprint that was canceled, so there were some issues when I placed controls since things change in 3+ months. I made some judgements that may have helped some and hurt others depending upon their route choice. Control 4 was on a root stock but a 2nd root stock had surfaced not on the map, so I put it on the first root stock you came to. Control 6 was on the east side of the stone wall but the map showed in on the west side. I could not get to the other side via the route I took, so I placed the control high hoping everyone would see it. Control 11 was on a fence that was completely covered with vines. I hoped everyone would see it or line up with the huge cement pillar in the river. Oh well, it was interesting and a fast course with 3 butterfly controls.

C • Nice course 2

Updated the Cox Park Map and walked the sprint course.

Rainy Day

Walked the sprint course for this Tuesday at Ashland. I made map copies back on May 3rd and then the sprint got canceled. Only real change was a path had disappeared. So I marked it with a red X on the maps. We are good to go for Tuesday.

Someone put the finger sticks into a coffee can and put a lid on them. Can you spell Mold? Soaked them in a weak bleach solution. Not the first time this has happened.
