Event: Canada 150 Orienteering Festival
 

Mapping Polson Park and the surrounding Hospital Grounds in Vernon. Should be a fun sprint map, the creek running through the park makes things interesting, as well as the ponds should create some interesting routechoices. The area around the hospital and care home as well is pretty good, lots of weirdly shaped buildings and impassable walls and fences.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of homeless camps in the park. I had not realized just how big the problem was from reading the Castanet stories, but there are a lot of unfortunate people living there. They are mostly in one small part of the park on the edge of the map, so shouldn't affect it's usage.

Saw my third bear in as many days today in Little Mountain. Went out running way too late... ran out of daylight.
