| Setting out the last few controls and the water controls. I helped Valerie hang a control that was, according to the map, supposed to be hung right where a cabin was now standing. That would not make the park officials happy, so I moved it down the road just a tad to the *next* road/trail junction, within plain sight of the intended site. No one complained, so I guess it worked.
I was only going to stay a little bit at the meet since I still had a good amount of work to do (for my job), but I ended up staying until the very end. Valerie and I were the last to leave, which is beginning to be the norm! It was a very pleasant day, with some time spent at the start table and the rest helping Valerie. The weather was incredible, as was the company, so it was difficult to pull myself away.
Thanks to Dave Pruden, Dan Quinn, Nadim Ahmed, Van Anthony, and Yulia for picking up controls. Especially Dave, whom I had to strong arm into sticking around for control pickup. And that was even after I convinced him to be the course setter for Meadowood in December. I bet he wishes he had never come to the meet today! |

| Cooperative effort for tomorrow's QOC meet. Nadim set the courses, I was vetting the control locations/hanging the bags, and Valerie was following behind and putting out the control boxes. What actually happened was that Valerie and I stayed together the whole time, and I was happy with this. We chatted a little, kabitzed on a couple of control locations, took a picture of Valerie standing in front of this HUGE rootstock, ran the trails, pushed hard on a couple of legs at the end, and just enjoyed the beautiful day. The prior commitment and the great company was just what I needed to get me out of my two week, post NA Champs funk. Thanks, Valerie! |
