Worked off some of the post-Possum Trot stiffness shadowing a student (Jacob) and his dad on their first orienteering course. Hueston Woods Lodge permanent course. Ethan impressed me, doing 1-10 in numerical sequence in a little under an hour. Sam and Hunter chased each other around the advanced controls, forgetting to look at their watch until they were at the far end of the course. I was getting a little concerned as they were 25 minutes late and darkness was falling when they finally emerged from the woods. But, they DID find all of their assigned controls.

Got to watch the just-past-full moon rising in front of me as I headed home on I-70; Saw a really cool meteor blaze acorss the sky just east of Effingham.

Possum Trot - Splits

Event: Possum Trot Weekend
 

Kansas Championships, Kansas University campus, Lawrence, KS.

Driving to the meet after an overnight in St' Louis, watching the full moon setting in the pre-dawn sky; had a full windshield view of the eclipse as it slowly ate into the disc, reaching almost 50% just before the moon set below the horizon. Would have loved to have been able to chase it to the Pacific for the full view the lucky west-coasters got.
