Event: NEOOC - Python 6 or 12 Hour Navigation Race
 

Event: OCIN - East Fork State Park
 

Setting out a few SI units, lugging equipment to finish and start, lopping thorn bushes overhanging the path from "GO" control to the finish. Picking up 3 controls and various equipment.

setting controls at East Fork. 6 difficult locations, although I had streamered all of them a week ago, the remainder a mix of white/yellow/orange.

setting up start and finish areas, road signs, 2 motion detector cameras.

yard and garden. raking and digging

Forest Run - a couple short new trails and a few vegetation changes.

Rentschler. Intended to check control sites for Trail of Treats, but several crews were actively working cutting down the dead ash trees in the area. But construction has started on the new park road and soccer fields, so I went ahead and checked out that area, even though it won't be used for an event before New Years at the earliest. Couldn't get to everything since crews were working there too, but at least got the new road penciled in. Hoping to get some engineering plans soon.

COO Battelle - Darby Creek green course. Interesting area, and a pretty decent map, by Alexander Preobrazhensky, although unfortunately the map printing quality was poor. Only index contours were visible on the 1:10000 prints used for orange and green, so you couldn't really use the contour detail.
