It was a crisp, sunny, Florida Winter's day - Perfect for Orienteering. We seemed to have the park almost to ourselves... shared only with the wildlife. Arild designed great courses that required skill to find the controls which were rarely visible until you were on top of them. I'm not sure of the total number of people we had out there, but we started 101 teams. That probably translates into at least 250 people out in the woods.
While Marilu and I were heading for control 5 (Orange) we were rather surprised to see a family of 4 dear run out from the bushes on our left, and straight across our path... towards the next control. While chatting to a group of first timers who had stopped for a picnic at control 6 we found that we were not the only ones to have seen them.
We would like to thank all those who helped out at the event and managed to keep
things running smoothly. I'm afraid I didn't make a note of everyone who was there,
but I do remember Andrea Holman and Tami Jicha at Registration, and Jonathon
Linforth and Donna Fluegal at the Start/Finish desks.
My apologies and thanks to all the others who helped out.
Additional thanks go to Donna Fluegal who donated a supply of Orienteering magazines
for distribution at the event.
See you all next month (March 1). We'll have a brand new map: Ocala Woodpecker Hill West!
