We had a very fun “fox chase” event at Carolina North, in which competitors only received points for a control if, after each one, they returned to me, as I walked a loop through the course. As I distributed maps to competitors, I tried to warn them that it is very hard to plan an […]

Many thanks to park superintendent Jeffrey West and […]

On Sunday, 07 February, we will have a 90 minute score course at Ft. Macon State Park in Atlantic Beach, NC.  A ‘score course’ means that you can visit any controls that you want, in any order — but if you don’t return within 90 minutes, you will lose lots of points.  Carl Briscoe will […]
