We were fortunate that all the rain went down on Saturday. And Sunday was pretty much perfect for orienteering. We had 100 individual starts! Looking at Livelox, it appears that different controls gave troubles to different runners – always a good sign 🙂 The results follow along with a picture of red tail hawk taken […]

Comments Off on Dorothea Dix Sprints June 4, 2023

Birkhead Wilderness near historical Thornburg Farm is one of the prettiest forests in our area and also one of the most challenging places for orienteering. There are virtually no trails and elevation features are so beautifully jumbled, that it makes it really hard to keep track of your location and even harder to restore connection […]
