| Vampire-O with Eric and Yumay... Eric Naved (duh) and I backup naved the route choices.. were on our way to blast the course and had 4 of 24cp's left when we got caught by a vampire.. these guys hit the jackpot and probably ran straight to the finish.. we got caught another 3-4 times and exchanged poor to pathetic cards (4-15 cps) and ended up turning in a sheet with 10 punches.. oh well, thats the fun of the game... close but no banana... |

| hehe, the city park orienteer got his butt kicked like its supposed to be.... first time since early 2004 that i ve done an orienteering event on a real O map, up by snoqualmie pass, hyak lake, new map, difficult, well at least the 2 that i though were difficult i blew nice and good, lost 3-4' on 7 and 25' on 11, the good thing is that i was able to relocate, missed it again on the way back.. (it was very difficult and many people had trouble) and then got it on the 3rd try... had a ton of fun orienteering though... |
