For those who missed orienteering in this area last year, the island offers some of the best […]
Read MoreSunday was a great day for orienteering, and we had about twice as many competitors as we anticipated. Thankfully, there is plenty of parking at Jordan Lake and people enjoyed one or two middle-distance courses on its new map.
